Questions
Moving in Barnet
Yes. We work by phone, email and online, so distance isn’t an issue. Searches for a house in Finchley or a flat in Colindale are ordered from Barnet Council and other providers in the same way for every firm. We keep in close contact with local agents and the other side’s solicitors throughout.
As well as normal planning rules, most homes there are covered by a scheme of management run by the Hampstead Garden Suburb Trust. Changes to the outside, and sometimes to gardens and trees, need the Trust’s approval. We check that past works were approved and explain how the scheme affects your plans.
