There are a number of houses in Bognor Regis on private lanes. We are buying such a house. Are there any benefits to buying a house on a privately owned road?
Bognor Regis conveyancing lawyers are used to dealing propertieson private. The property lawyer should review the Land Registry data to identify any rights or liabilities. It is possible that there is a residents association that owners make annual contributions for the upkeep of the road. If there is one, the road should be maintained and appear nicer than council maintained.
