Local knowledge
Things to know when moving in Shropshire
Flood risk on the Severn
Parts of Shrewsbury and Bridgnorth near the River Severn are prone to flooding. We order an environmental search and look into flood history and insurance before you exchange.
Mining history
Parts of Shropshire have a history of coal mining and other mining, including lead mining in the south-west of the county. Where the property is in an affected area, we order the right mining search.
Rural properties
Country homes often have private drainage, shared access tracks and rights of way across the land. Some carry agricultural occupancy conditions. We check the title, drainage compliance and planning history.

Questions
Moving in Shropshire
Yes. We work entirely by phone, email and online. Local searches come from Shropshire Council and specialist providers, whoever orders them. You get the same checks, including flood and mining searches where needed, without needing to visit an office. That suits rural buyers well, as there is no travelling to Shrewsbury or further for appointments.
It’s a planning condition that limits who can live in a property, usually to people working in farming or forestry, or their dependants. It can make mortgages harder to get and may reduce the value. We check for any condition and explain what it means for you before you buy.
