    Buying a piece of land off a neighbour

    Sorry, this doesn't seem to fit elsewhere and is not technically DIY but I don't know another community so full of informed people... Behind our back garden is a narrow private lane, which also backs up against the back gardens of another street. Being a new-build development, our estate butts...

    Land registry : charges register

    So I'm looking at buying a piece of land and I want to know more about it. I've gone through the land registry and purchased a copy of the title. There is a mention of a charges register, and I want to know what covenants are on the land and any other information relating to its use before I...

    Has anyone ever sold a piece of land to a property developer?

    As the title says, has anyone sold a piece of land to a developer? My FIL has a section of land at the bottom of his garden which a developer wants to buy. Despite repeatedly telling him not to sign anything without speaking to us and seeking legal advice it appears he has signed a document in...

    Cost of land

    My neighbour has a large piece of land at the end of his garden which borders my garden. I'm interested in buying all (or some) of it to put a double garage on and to increase the size of my garden but I have no idea how much land like this is worth. The ground is about 16 metres by 16...

    Carpeting stairs and landing

    Good afternoon all, I'm currently looking at having my stairs and landing carpeted in the near future. The old carpet has been removed and the underlay and carpet grippers are still in place. I intend on leaving these in place. I've measured the rise and fall of one of my steps and this...

    Goodbye Jeremy

    He also thinks he can buy a piece of land on the IOM and try and block a public footpath. Idiot. If he wanted total privacy, why did the bumbling oaf buy land with a right of way through it?

    Why can't you just build on your own land? (e.g.Rural plots)

    Well, that was just part of my "rant" - wondering IF we had such a piece of land, then WHY would we need PP - if nobody could see our house anyway! In reality, we're probably happy to settle for whatever land (however close to other properties) that we would be allowed to build our...

    'Charities'

    Tree landed on house

    Hi, In the process of buying a house to do up in Cornwall. A week or two from completion of sale and a tree fell down (big one). The branches swiped the house and took down a chimney stack off the top of the gable end which smashed the Velux and some roof damage.. So we have two choices...

    Clawbacks in Land Purchase

    Thank you so much Mottie, I did not know in Freehold also they can do the same. I think I should not buy this piece of land, my intention was to get planning permission and build a semi-commercial building. It looks like I will end up spending thousands of pounds in the future.

    Why can't you just build on your own land? (e.g.Rural plots)

    I think you will need to be what most people would call pretty rich if you're to buy a piece of land in Hampshire, designated for residential use, which is large enough for a house not to be seen from beyond its boundary.

    Why can't you just build on your own land? (e.g.Rural plots)

    Rats! I've already been brainwashed! :) No, I haven't purchased the land yet. I want to get all the facts together first, then (if it's worth it) purchase the right piece of land that will allow us to do what we want. I guess my original post was more of a rant about "why", as it clearly...

    Clawbacks in Land Purchase

    It’s the conditions of sale. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. Who's going to develop a leasehold piece of land anyway. You'd need the permission of the freeholder, presumably. How much more do you think the freehold will cost? 100%? 200%? They can still put those conditions in on a freehold...

    leasehold

    Leaseholds are normally used where several dwellings are built on the same piece of land such as flats or apartments. They can't all own the same piece of land, so the owners of the properties all pay a share of a ground rent to the freeholder. I looked into this some years ago when...
