Are you selling or buying a property in Bristol?

Bristol is the largest city in the Southwest of England with a population nearing half a million. Bristol is a green and highly desireable place to live with an excellent transport network and a diverse range of housing stock.

As with any City, it has a number of idiosyncratic issues which Conveyancing Solicitors in Bristol are well used to. For example, it may come as a surprise to many buyers to find that much of Bristol and South Gloucestershire lies on a coalfield and mines existed even in quite central parts of the city, until the 1950s. We therefore carry out coal-mining searches for homes in most areas of Bristol.

Another example is 'Rentcharges', a legal peculiarity almost unique to the Bristol and North Somerset area. These are small annual payments, similar to ground rents, which have to be paid by the owners of some freehold properties. If a house is subject to such a charge the Solicitor will find out if it is still collected.

Fridaysmove have assisted home movers throughout Bristol, including Conveyancing in BS1 through to BS80 and our proactive approach means you move faster. Why not call us on 033 0660 0286 to find out how we can help you.

Local Transport Issues

Buyers should be aware of all transport works and other issues in the local area which may affect their Bristol property. During the conveyancing process, a property lawyer will investigate whether the property is within 200 metres of:

  • any proposed new road
  • any proposed alteration to an existing road involving construction of an underpass, flyover, bridge, elevated road or roundabout
  • road widening or making an existing road a dual carriageway
  • a proposed railway, tramway, light railway or monorail
In rarer cases, the council may install a 'no entry' sign or similar restriction, preventing access to a road. Such an action may not technically be a 'scheme' and therefore may not be mentioned in searches.

For those buying in Bristol conservation areas, consents for alterations and other works must be confirmed:

Conservation areas include Lower Machen, Redwick, St.Woolos, Beechwood Park, Belle Vue Park, Kensington Place, Lower Dock Street, Stow Park, The Shrubbery, Town Centre, Waterloo, Caerleon & Clytha.
