Ask the expert: listed buildings, equity release and Land Certificates
A listing does not stop a property being extended or altered, but consent may
be needed beforehand. Going ahead without consent is technically a criminal
offence.
Your conveyancer will ask the seller’s solicitor for a copy of the listing
from the local authority. They will also inquire whether the sellers or
previous owners have undertaken any works which would require listed
building consent. If they have, a copy of the consent should be obtained.
They will also check that Read more [...]
