Stages from deposit to title
Before the keys, certainty
A beautiful property can still carry an unbeautiful legal history.
What appears in an advert, what exists on site, what the Land Registry describes and what planning law permits are not always the same thing. We compare the complete picture before your money is at risk.
Who owns what? Ownership, mortgages, easements, attachments and rights affecting the property. Is every part lawful? Licences, certificates, discrepancies, rural land rules and enforcement exposure. And what if checks fail? Deposits, conditions, deadlines, financing and a workable route out of the deal.
We compare the complete picture before your money is at risk.
