AGENTS NOTE
Please note the plan on our marketing differs slightly from the plan on the online planning register. The plan on our marketing correctly denotes the area of land for sale that will be conveyed. We understand from the planning consultant that the purchaser can continue to build the property as per the plans but if they wished to construct a garage this would need to be re-sited and a variation of condition would need to be applied for with Cornwall County Council Planning Department.

MOBILE AND BROADBAND
For more information on mobile and broadband services please see attached property brochure.

SERVICES
The plot is un-serviced - it will be the buyers responsibility to arrange for connection of services.

PROOF OF FINANCE - PURCHASERS
Prior to agreeing a sale, we will require proof of financial ability to purchase which will include an
agreement in principle for a mortgage and/or proof of cash funds.
