Property buying advice for Country purchases

Specific knowledge and expertise is crucial when sourcing and acquiring the finest rural properties.

Planning issues often differ between districts and other issues such as estate management, tenanted properties, staff accommodation, even sporting rights may become key considerations of your purchase. Farmland, multiple buildings, rights of way and listed buildings all require a specialised approach and therefore you will find that the conveyancing process of country property is very different from that of city residences.

Having the property inspected by a professional surveyor prior to entering into any further financial commitment in buying a country residence is essential. Country residences are often older buildings that may at the point of sale be in sound condition, however, a surveyor may discover future expenses and inform you of estimated costs associated with any immediate or necessary repairs. We always recommend that purchasers take the time to discuss the property report with the appointed surveyor to clear up any concerns they may have.

A preferred area or a specific style of property could define a search therefore we advise that a buyer prioritises their requirements from the outset.  Identifying other key requirements such as travel time to a place of work, access to good local schools or peace and tranquillity will allow our consultants to locate the most appropriate properties that match as many of your requirements as possible.
