christianbeccy 20 Posted November 29, 2019 Gawd, we thought this bit would be straight-forward. So, in essence, here's what we're doing. The 'simple' version... (I'll cover the not-so-simple version afterwards) My Uncle has inherited the property that his late Mother (my Grandmother) lived in. He wants to split away a plot, which I want to buy. Fairly soon, we'll have a Topographical Survey, showing a mutually agreeable division, resulting in a set of land-registry compliant plans, sale price agreed and all amicable. It's essentially a cash purchase from our side. I assume it's not as simple as it sounds though, do we need a solicitor to provide a conveyancing service?

Jilly 35 Posted November 29, 2019 Do you want to put covenants on the land? I think in that case it would be best to use a solicitor, for the avoidance of doubt. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for your reply. What sort of thing would be expected in a covenant? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jilly 35 Posted November 29, 2019 (edited) It's usually to have influence or gain payment for further development. People do it if the plot is sizeable and would fit a housing estate to hedge their bets against the uplift in value, or to preserve their outlook.
