Conveyancing solicitors in Buckinghamshire
Buckinghamshire mixes commuter towns on the rail lines into London with villages across the Chiltern Hills and the Vale of Aylesbury. The south of the county has many large family homes and higher prices, while Aylesbury and its surrounding villages have seen a lot of new building. Period cottages and flint houses are common in the Chilterns.

Local knowledge
Things to know when moving in Buckinghamshire
Green Belt and the Chilterns
Much of the south of the county is Green Belt, and the Chilterns are a protected landscape. That can limit extensions and new building. We check the planning history and any restrictions before you buy.
HS2 and infrastructure
The HS2 route crosses parts of the county, and some properties may be near construction or affected land. We check the searches for any impact and explain what it could mean for you.
New-build estates around Aylesbury
Large new developments often come with management companies and estate charges. We review the transfer and management arrangements, and explain the costs and your rights.

Questions
Moving in Buckinghamshire
Yes. We handle everything by phone, email and online. Local searches come from Buckinghamshire Council and specialist providers, and the results are the same whoever orders them. We also check for HS2 and planning issues where the property needs it, and explain each step clearly.
Sometimes, but the rules are stricter. Extensions in the Green Belt are often limited to what is proportionate to the original building, and the Chilterns landscape adds more controls. We check past planning decisions on the property, though you may also want advice from a planning consultant before you buy.
