Blaenavon conveyancing lawyers are well versed in transacting houseson private. Your lawyer should investigate Land Registry data to find any rights or liabilities. It is possible that there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that owners make annual payments for the upkeep of the road. Where there is one, the road should be maintained and appear nicer than council maintained.
