I wasn't sure whether to post this in property or legal sorry!
We want to buy a house where the houses on the road have all bought bits of the scrubland behind there gardens and the house we like has done it too but it looks like the house we like hasn't got use of the extra scrubland bit for residential purposes so we are not sure what that means for us family being able to use it as a garden? It looks like the rest of the garden to us but we dont know what that means legally using it? Ive googled and there's stuff about applying for a lawful development certificate for established use of the land for residential purposes incidental to the residential use of the dwellinghouse but that's beyond me. Can anyone help please? Would the conveyancer be able to do that for us if we buy it?
