Local knowledge

Conveyancing in Broadstairs: what’s different

Broadstairs is a small seaside town with a lot of period character, which brings a few things to check.

Conservation areas

The town centre around Viking Bay and St Peter’s village are conservation areas, with many listed buildings.

Clifftop homes

Many homes sit near the chalk cliffs between the bays. Your solicitor may suggest extra enquiries about the cliff edge and ground stability.

Flats in period houses

Larger Victorian houses are often split into flats, so leases and shared repair costs need careful checks.

Holiday lets and second homes

If you plan to let the property, your solicitor checks the title, lease and planning history for restrictions.
