Local knowledge
Things to know when moving in Liverpool
Investment flats and off-plan purchases
Many city centre flats are sold to investors, sometimes off-plan. We check the developer, the lease, the building’s safety and the protection for your deposit before you commit.
Georgian and Victorian listed homes
The Georgian Quarter and many older streets have listed buildings and conservation areas. We check consents for past alterations and explain the limits on future work.
Landlord licensing
Liverpool has run selective licensing for private landlords across much of the city. If you are buying to let, we check whether a licence is needed and whether one is in place.

Questions
Moving in Liverpool
No. We act for Liverpool buyers and sellers from Newcastle by phone, email and online. Local searches are ordered from Liverpool City Council and specialist providers, wherever your solicitor is based. We deal with the agent, your lender and the other side, and you sign documents electronically or by post.
It can be, but take care. Before you pay a deposit, check who the developer is, how your deposit is protected and what happens if the build is delayed. Check the lease terms and building warranty too. We review the contract and tell you about the risks before you exchange.
