Before you commit
- Check what the address itself last sold for — search the register. Nominal £1 transfers are labelled; they are not sales.
- Check the planning history of the address, and of the field next door. A granted permission is a paper fact, not a finished building.
- Pick your professionals on evidence: the firms whose applications actually get granted here.
- Compare the asking price with the rest of the parish — every area, side by side.
- If more than one agent is marketing it, they may not agree on the price or the bedroom count. We show both where that happens.
