S106 and/or CIL obligations from previous owner

[IanB]

I'm an buying a property that has existing planning for demolition and rebuild. The vendor appears to have made quite a few planning applications. The conveyancing report states quote "The local authority's records indicate that the property is subject to a Section 106 Agreement." "A Section 106 Agreement is usually binding on any successors in title, meaning you, as the new owner, will be
bound to the original obligations set out in the agreement" - a copy of this agreement has been requested for vendor's solicitor

 

This is Horsham Council in West Sussex - which states that S106 is largely phased out in favour of CIL ??

 

There is a liability notice issued 09/06/2026 for £21,754.83 against the vendor and another for £2,722.82 issued 05/03/2024 for a different planning application by the vendor

 

Obvious question here is am I liable for any of these charges i.e. should I be worried

 

Thanks
