Section 106

Hiya :)

I've found the perfect property but it is subject to a section 106 restriction. From my research I understand that this could mean anything from people with limited income to people working in key areas and more. 

How do I find out what the restriction is on a particular property?

Thanks :)

    Details of the section 106 restriction should be available with the relevant planning application/decision.  If it relates to a relatively recent planning application, you can probably find it online. 

    Alternatively, how did you find the property?  If it's listed for sale by an estate agent (e.g. on rightmove) the listing should give some details of the section 106 restriction. And you could ask the estate agent for more details.

    It's probably best not to rely 100% on what the estate agent says, but it might be a useful starting point.

    Check the planning permission online, it should have the S106 agreement attached and also contact the Council to see if all obligations have been fulfilled.
