I have just bought a house and have found out that the 30 houses in the street opposite me are under an Initial Demolition Order and that the council intends to redevelop the area. These houses are bungalows at present and are 10m from our house.
This information was not in any of the searches carried out by our solicitor and we are very worried the demolition/building work/new development will have an impact on us and the value of our property.
Should we have been informed of this through searches by our solicitor?
We definitely wouldn't have bought the house if we had known.
