Local knowledge
Things to know when moving in Bradford
Stone terraces and back-to-backs
Many older homes are stone-built terraces, and some are back-to-backs with shared yards and passageways. We check rights of way, shared drainage and boundaries on the title plan.
Saltaire and conservation areas
Saltaire is a World Heritage Site with many listed buildings, and other parts of the district are conservation areas. We check consents for past work and explain any limits on future alterations.
Flood risk along the valleys
Homes near the River Aire and River Wharfe can be at risk of flooding. We review the environmental search and ask the seller about flooding history and insurance.
