Planning risks in residential conveyancing
11am Tuesday 20th October
Nobody wants to buy a property only to find soon afterwards that there is going to be a development or change in infrastructure which could severely affect the use and enjoyment of the property as well as its value.
Solicitors have always carried out local authority, CON29, searches – but these provide very little information outside of the subject property.
This session provides conveyancers with the latest planning policies and legislation and planning changes and their potential impact on properties. It will also demonstrate how to provide clients with information and advice that will assist in their understanding of planning issues.
- Understanding planning issues in residential/commercial transactions.
- Planning policy and legislation
- Planning information available – applications, land use designations
- How Landmark planning reports can provide practical information to help you and your clients
