There are a lot of houses in Underwood on private lanes. My husband and I are buying such a property. Are there any advantages to buying a residence on a privately owned road?
Underwood conveyancing firms are familiar with dealing propertieson private. The property lawyer will investigate Land Registry data to find any rights or responsibilities. In many cases there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that residents make annual contributions to maintain the road. Where there is one, the road should be maintained and look better than council owned.
