There are plenty of houses in Clapham on unadopted lanes. My husband and I are purchasing one such property. What are the advantages and disadvantages of purchasing a property on a privately owned road?
Clapham conveyancing lawyers are used to conveyancing houseson unadopted roads. Your property lawyer should investigate title to identify any rights or responsibilities.

If one exists, the road will likely be maintained and look better than publicly adopted.
