How Can Land Conveyancing Solicitors Near Me Help?
Buying land presents a number of legal, financial, environmental, and planning issues that must be effectively considered and addressed to avoid costly mistakes. Our land conveyancing solicitors will guide you through the process, alerting you to the matters that may present problems and advising you on your options.
Examples of the types of matters you may need to consider and on which our land conveyancing solicitors will advise you include the following:
• Is Your Proposed Use Of The Land Permitted?
Before proceeding with your proposed land purchase, you must ensure that the plot can be used for your intended purpose. Failing to undertake the proper checks can cause you to spend considerable time and money purchasing land that you are not allowed to use as you wish.
Our land conveyancing solicitors will advise on the checks required for the land in question, carry them out, and advise you on the results.
• What Type Of Land Do You Propose Buying?
Land in England is classified into different types, with the two most common being brownfield and greenfield. You must establish what type the land you propose buying is, since its classification can have a significant impact on what you can do with it and how much the development will likely cost.
For example, greenfield land is land that has not previously been developed. While this means you will not incur the costs of cleaning it up before you can start using it, obtaining planning permission can sometimes be tricky. Furthermore, you need to check whether the land has the infrastructure required to support your proposed use.
Our land conveyancing solicitors will confirm the type of land you propose buying and advise you on the ramifications and your options.
• Are The Survey Results Acceptable?
The results of the surveys done on the land can make or break a proposed purchase. The correct surveys will highlight issues such as flood risks, sloping ground, or potential boundary disputes, ensuring you can make an informed choice about proceeding.
Our land conveyancing solicitors will arrange for the necessary surveys to be carried out on the land in question and advise you on the impact of their results.
• Do You Need Planning Permission?
Some plots of land already have planning permission in place, although they will usually come with a higher price tag. If the land you propose buying does not have planning permission, you must investigate why. The reason may be innocent, for example, the current owner has not applied for it, or a previous outline planning permission has expired. However, a lack of planning permission can sometimes highlight a more significant problem, which you need to be aware of before going ahead.
Our land conveyancing solicitors will investigate the planning permission situation and advise you on how it may affect your plans.
• How Do You Access The Land?
It is essential to ascertain how the land you propose buying is accessed. Preferably, access will be via a public road, and there will be no issue. However, some land must be accessed from a private road or through someone else’s land, in which case you must carefully consider your position. For example, if the land is accessed via a private road, you must ascertain who is responsible for the upkeep of that road and whether there are any costs consequences you must factor in.
Our land conveyancing solicitors will look into the access situation and advise accordingly.
