Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need searches/surveys?
Property searches (such as an environmental search, local authority search, water and drainage search and coal search) provide crucial information about the property itself and the local area. Many contracts for sale will expect a prudent buyer to have made all reasonable enquiries and this will include property searches. A survey will indicate any structural problems with the property and whether expenditure will be necessary. Both searches and surveys help to protect your investment. If you are purchasing with the assistance of a lender then searches are usually compulsory.If you are purchasing land for plot development searches and surveys are crucial, we would also encourage on site and desktop searches.
CIL – what is it?
Community Infrastructure Levy is charged by local authorities on new developments in order to raise funds for local facilities, infrastructure etc. CIL liabilities are usually payable by landowners however if CIL liabilities have not been discharged prior to sale subsequent owners may become responsible for CIL payments.
