Which Property Searches Do You Need?
If you're buying a property in Barnstaple using a mortgage, when your four main searches are returned, they may recommend that you additionally book a DevAssess Report.
The DevAssess report is a bespoke report providing a professional opinion about the risk of development within a 75m radius of the property. This search is suitable for both residential and small commercial properties under 0.25 acres.
The report 'looks to the future' in that it identifies areas or sites nearby which may, at a later point, be of interest to a developer but for which planning applications have not yet been submitted.
The professional opinion also considers whether you should undertake any future searches which may reveal covenant control on adjoining land.
