PLANNING HISTORY

Planning permission was originally granted by Harrogate Borough Council in October 1992 for the conversion of farm buildings to a dwelling, workplace and garaging – application number 6.73.38.PA. The property was then known as Higher Platts Farm. A further application was granted in August 1994 for the conversion of the farm buildings to form an additional dwelling with ancillary workspace and garaging – application number 6.73.38.A.PA. This permission was renewed in May 1996 – application number 6.73.38.B.RENEW. A copy of the 1996 Decision Notice is included in these particulars.

In February 2022 a certificate of lawfulness to confirm that development under planning permission 96/00585/RENEW commenced on or before 28 June 1997. A copy of the certificate is included within the particulars.

From this connection, a private cable would need to be installed to the property, complying with IEE regulations.

The next steps...

Establish funds

How will you fund the purchase?

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
