In Surrey, there are a good number of buildings of historical interest. The English Heritage website can provide you with information on how to get a building listed in the area. There are many Grade 1 and Grade 2 listed buildings in the following areas of Surrey: Elmbridge, Epsom, Guildford, Runnymede, Woking and many more areas. Consent must be gained from the local authority, before any alterations to a listed building are made. A Local Authority Search can tell you whether a building is listed, and your Conveyancing Solicitor will be able to assist you with this.
Surrey is a very old and historic county and has around 200 areas of conservation at the current time. Locations such as Merstham Village, Elmore Road, Kingswood, Stanwell, Laleham, Lower Halliford and Shepperton contain areas of conservation. Even if a building is not listed, you should be aware that there may be restrictions against altering a building within a conservation area. Your Conveyancing Solicitor should discuss any alteration plans that you are currently considering, with the local authority.
There are a good deal of new build properties in Surrey at the current time. Locations such as Weybridge, Windlesham, St. George's Hill, Kingston and many more places currently have new build properties available. It is often the case that when the new build property contracts have been exchanged - there has not been a completion date decided.
Procedures can differ slightly with new build properties, so your Conveyancing Solicitor should be aware of how to deal with properties of this type. Your Conveyancer should also look into any cash incentives that may be offered by the developer.
There are a number of council properties that are situated in Surrey. Under the right to buy scheme, a tenant may be able to purchase these properties (subject to certain conditions). The property is sold based on the current market price, discounting any amount of money that the tenant is entitled to. If, within 5 years, the property is sold - a portion of the discount may have to be paid back to the landlord.
