Conveyancing Solicitors in Bath

Victoria Cranwell

As conveyancing solicitors in Bath, we are ready to discuss all your residential property requirements. That includes highlighting some less visible problems affecting properties in the City. The head of our Bath and Bradford on Avon conveyancing team, Victoria Cranwell, provides some examples.

Victoria is available on 01225 462871.

Alternatively, you can contact her by email, or by completing the Contact Form at the foot of this page. Conveyancing quotes are also available online.

If you are purchasing a property in Bath, it’s in your best interest to instruct local conveyancing solicitors.

Bath has several common but less visible features, any one of which may influence your decision as to how, or even whether, to proceed. As local conveyancing solicitors in Bath, we know what to look for and how to advise you on any issues arising. Moving home is stressful enough without discovering unwelcome surprises when it may be too late to take action.

Here are some examples of some of the issues affecting properties in Bath.

Radon Gas

Radon gas alert signRadon is a natural, radioactive gas emitted from rocks and soil, found in greater concentrations in some areas than others. It’s colourless, tasteless and odourless, but in higher concentrations is a health risk. As Bath is an area affected by radon gas, we will identify whether your property is affected, and, if so, the level of radon to which the property is subjected.

Understandably, the potential presence of radon gas will be concerning. However, if necessary, radon testing can be carried out to identify the levels involved. In addition, high levels can be brought within safe limits through remedial works to the property.

Listed Buildings

Sign for Upper Church Street in BathWe will establish whether your property is a listed building because of its special architectural or historic interest. Bath has more than the average number of listed buildings, which does not just apply to grand Georgian townhouses. Listed buildings have greater legal protection restricting the type and extent of work allowed, both externally and internally.

If you are buying a listed building in Bath, we shall check carefully on your behalf that the seller or their predecessor has complied fully with any listed building consents. If they have not done so, the planning department could well serve you with a listed building enforcement notice.

See our Listed Building Consent Checklist

Stone Mines

Combe Down Stone MinesFrom the 17th century, a growing labyrinth of stone mines destabilised much of the ground beneath Combe Down. More recently, Bath and North East Somerset Council worked to stabilise those abandoned mine workings, removing a significant threat to the properties above. We will identify whether your property is affected by stone mines. If so, obtaining a “Statement of Completion” will confirm that the ground beneath has been stabilised.
