TIPS FOR MOVING TO THE COUNTRYSIDE
by Rachael Kaluza, Director and Licensed Conveyancer at Michael J Wey & Co
Moving to the countryside is the ultimate dream for some, but it’s essential to be aware of the unique challenges that come with rural living.
Here are some valuable tips to consider before making the leap:
Get to Know the Area: Explore the neighbourhood and visit at different times of the day. Familiarise yourself with the local amenities, nearby hospitals, and check your commuting options. Having a reliable car is often essential for rural living.
Consider Property Titles and Rights of Way: Rural properties may have complex titles with rights of way and restrictive covenants. We can help you investigate these details before you commit. Be aware that some properties might not be connected to mains drainage; private drainage systems (like septic tanks) can come with red tape which we can help you understand.
Be Prepared for Rural Life: While the sight of animals grazing in meadows is picturesque, nearby farming can involve muck spreading, farm traffic, and occasional aromas! Consider how nearby agricultural activities might impact your daily life.
Check for Local Planning Applications: Ensure your idyllic outlook won’t be blocked by unexpected development. We can help you investigate whether there are any planning applications for the area.
Stay Informed About Rural Crime: Rural crime is a real concern. Check recent incidents in your chosen area using resources like www.police.uk.
While country living offers tranquility and natural beauty, it’s essential to be well-informed and prepared for possible lifestyle changes. To find out how we can help you further with your move, please contact us on 01483 426406 or at www.mjwey.co.uk
