SERVICES
Electricity - The owners have already paid in full and had UK Power networks install a service head to the site, so electricity is on the site in the Kiosk. The only thing the new owner would need to do is apply for an electricity account with a supplier and get a meter fitted.

Water - Water is piped to the site and there is now a standpipe on the corner of the site. The water will be connected as of the 6th December 2024.

BT - This has been ducted from where it needs to be to the property, and it has been paid for in full. When the new owners need it to be connected, they would just have to arrange the connection with Openreach.

Permission to discharge into the ditch - Permission has been given to discharge water into the ditch for the outfall from the new drainage system which will need to be via a bio-digester sewage treatment system/Klargester.

Share of upkeep for the roadway - There is a share of the maintenance cost for the road. This property would be responsible for an 8% maintenance upkeep share. There is no management company, so the repairs to the road would be at the discretion and agreement of all the properties that use the road and the farmer.

Purchasers are always advised to make enquiries to the relevant suppliers on these points prior to making their offer.

Viewings - We would ask that all prospective purchasers contact our offices prior to viewing so that we can keep a record of appointments.
