Viewing

Viewings are strictly by appointment only and must be arranged through the selling agents. Interested parties are kindly requested not to enter the land unaccompanied, as the site forms part of a working quarry. Prior notice is essential to ensure safe and appropriate access.

In the event that the sale of the property - whether as a whole, in lots, or including any associated rights - constitutes a chargeable supply for VAT purposes, the Purchaser shall be responsible for paying any applicable VAT in addition to the contract price.

The Vendor has elected to charge VAT on this sale, and therefore VAT will be payable by the purchaser in addition to the agreed contract price.

* Cleaning, repair and maintenance of the access and associated fencing and gates
* Installation and upkeep of gates and CCTV
* Insurance for the access
* Removal of fly tipping

The service charge will be a fair and reasonable estimate, with annual reconciliation based on actual costs.

Common Parts
The Common Parts over which the purchaser will have shared use include:

* The access road
* Fencing along the access
* Gates installed on the access

The seller will retain responsibility for maintaining these areas, with costs recovered through a service charge arrangement as outlined in the Access section.
