Local knowledge
Conveyancing in Ramsgate: what’s different
Ramsgate has some of the finest Regency and Victorian architecture on the Kent coast. That brings a few things to check.
Listed buildings
Ramsgate has a large number of listed buildings. Any past alterations need the right listed building consent.
Flats in period terraces
Many grand terraces are split into flats. Leases, plans and shared repair costs need careful review.
Harbour and seafront
Homes near the Royal Harbour and seafront should have a flood search.
Cliffs and chalk
Some clifftop homes and older properties above the chalk may need extra enquiries about ground stability.
