Buying A Residential Property

So that we can make all appropriate and necessary preliminary enquiries and searches on your new property and to help us to provide the best possible advice and service, we need to know your intended use of the property.

Unless you advise otherwise, we will assume that you intend to live in the property and that you and no one else will be occupying it. If this is not the case e.g. if you intend to use it partly for a business, extend the property, or if there will be other adult occupiers, please let us know.

The local and other searches we will be carrying out on your new property only relate to the property itself and not to any adjoining land or property. If there is anything in particular concerning any neighbouring property or land which you think should be taken up with the local authority, or if there are any particular points you wish us to raise with the seller's solicitor following your own inspection of the property, please let us know as soon as possible.

As soon as we receive the contract documentation from the seller's solicitor we will check the title and requisition the preliminary searches that we believe are necessary.

The articles on legal topics published in these pages are for interest only and are necessarily general in their terms. You should not act (or refrain from acting) on the basis of the information given without specific advice, as the principles and laws concerned may change, and their application will vary according to the particular circumstances.
