Worrying historic ownership
Comments

Have you actually asked the vendor if they will split the title, sell you the house, and keep "ownership" (and whatever obligations go with it) of the roads themselves.
No, but sounds a good idea - will put that to them.
So if we decide to proceed (which seems likely) how do we get a really really thorough survey? We don't want the one we had when we purchased our current home - one that was called a full survey cost £500 & involved the surveyor glancing around the property, sticking his head through the loft hatch & not much more. As the property is older than we've owned before, is it possible to get a full structural survey & one with a camera down drains etc? The surveyor we had here says he doesn't do things like that. Who do we approach?0 -
A RICS surveyor.
They’re not going to do a drain survey for you though, that’s the likes of Dynorod and equivalent smaller companies.Everything that is supposed to be in heaven is already here on earth.
