What we do for you

For most people, their home will be the most important and valuable asset they will own during their lifetime. Therefore it is vital that specialist legal advice is sought to protect that ownership.
There are many potential problems in buying property and expert advice is needed to ensure your interests are safeguarded at all times. Some of these potential problems include:-

• Does the seller really own the property; are there any restrictions on sale?
• Does anyone else have rights relating to the property, for example public rights of way, neighbours' right of entry, or rights belonging to the local council?
• Are there any disputes over boundaries or fences and do any extensions or alterations to the property have the requisite planning permission?
• Are there any restrictions or covenants concerning the property which may for example relate to the keeping of animals or running a business from the property?
• Are the Highways Agency or local council planning any work that may affect the property?
• Is the property in a current or former mining area?
• Is the property built on an old landfill site or other area where there are environmental concerns?

These are just some of the areas that need to be given careful consideration and require specialist advice before any commitment is made to purchase a property.
