Buying a listed building in Cornwall


Properties on the listed buildings register have great historic character, but need great attention to detail from the conveyancer.

Whatever the grade of listing, previous works must have been fully approved, or the new owner can be liable for costly remedial work – not only externally but also internally – or even a criminal sentence.

brains solicitors’ conveyancing team has in-depth knowledge and experience of dealing with listing details and listed building consents, as well as the regulations governing conservation areas and Cornwall’s extensive Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

To find out more, call Call 01726 68111 (St Austell) or 01872 276363 (Truro) to arrange a meeting within 24 hours – or complete our two-minute online conveyancing fee questionnaire.
