Buying on Church Road

Before you offer on a home on Church Road: the checks to raise with your surveyor and conveyancer, whether an asking price stands up against what sold nearby, how prices here have moved since 1995, what it costs to run a home, and a buyer's report for every home on the street.

1 thing to raise before an offer (checked at B26 3YG), and a street where the typical sale was £203k. In Sheldon North.
