Local knowledge
Things to know when moving in Wiltshire
Listed and thatched homes
Thatched cottages, timber-framed houses and Bath stone buildings are common, and many are listed or in conservation areas. We check that past alterations had the right consents and explain any restrictions on future work.
Stone mining around Corsham
Parts of the Corsham and Box area sit above old underground Bath stone quarries. Where the property is in an affected area, we order a suitable ground stability or mining search and follow up any concerns.
Flood risk by the rivers
Homes close to the Avon and its tributaries, including parts of Salisbury and Bradford on Avon, can be at risk of flooding. We order an environmental and flood search and look into any history of flooding with the seller.

Questions
Moving in Wiltshire
Yes. We run the whole transaction remotely by phone, email and online. Local searches come from Wiltshire Council and specialist search providers, wherever your solicitor is based. You get a named lawyer, regular updates and a clear explanation of the title and search results, without needing to visit an office.
Military training areas can bring noise from firing ranges and aircraft, and some land nearby has access restrictions. Former service family homes are sometimes sold on the open market, so check estate roads and services are properly adopted. We review the searches and title, and raise any questions with the seller.
