Local knowledge
Things to know when moving in Wirral
Port Sunlight and listed homes
Port Sunlight is a conservation area with many listed homes, and there are other historic streets across the peninsula. We check consents for past changes and explain the limits on future work.
Coastal and tidal flood risk
Homes near the coast and the Dee estuary can face tidal flood risk. We review the environmental search and ask the seller about flooding history and insurance.
New-build apartments
Regeneration schemes around Birkenhead and the docks include new-build flats. We check the lease, service charges and building warranty before you commit.
