In the South West of England, there are a huge amount of listed buildings. To give you an idea of the amount, in South Somerset alone there are 94 Grade 1 listed buildings (Grade 1 being the highest graded building). There are also many Grade 2 listed buildings in South West England such as Clavell Tower in Dorset, Elmore Court in Gloucestershire and Tregantle Fort in Cornwall. In Dorset, Durlston Castle (Grade 2 listed building) is currently being renovated in a £5.5million project to restore it and also turn it into a visitor centre. A prospective buyer should realise that you cannot alter a listed building without permission from the local council. A Local Authority Search would be able to reveal if a building is listed. Your Conveyancing Solicitor would be able to assist you with this.
Recently in Chippenham, Wiltshire, locals held a fair which aimed to give out information and advice on how to prepare and deal with flooding. The Operational Flood Working Group organised the event, and they encouraged communities to make flood plans and find volunteer flood wardens. According to a spokesman, flooding had become more severe of recent years in the county. An Environmental Search should be carried out in order to flag up any concerns in relation to environmental issues. Your Conveyancing Solicitor and yourself could investigate any matters further, once the search has been carried out.
There are a number of properties in South West England that are unregistered. It is essential that your Conveyancer is aware of how to deal with properties that are not registered. The seller must prove ownership by supplying the buyer with an "epitome of sale" which are documents showing an unbroken chain of ownership from the last 15 years. Your Conveyancing expert should inspect these documents, in order to asses if they are of adequate quality.
