Purchasing a Residential Property in a Conservation Area - A Conveyancers Guide

Introduction

Purchasing a property in a conservation area brings with it restrictions on what the owner can and cannot do with the property. It is important that conveyancers recognise when this is relevant and advise their client fully.

As with all planning matters, the conveyancer must understand past work and changes to the property as well as taking clear instructions as to their client’s intentions for the property once the matter completes.

This webinar will cover some of the issues and risks.
