How to read this comparison

  1. What servicing, water treatment, plant replacement and winterisation does the pool or spa require, and can you provide service records?
  2. Who maintains the gardens and grounds, what is included in the sale, and can you provide the maintenance schedule?
  3. Which accommodation is approved for its advertised use, and are access, services and heating independent?
  4. What evidence can you provide before a viewing to resolve: Official title/UPRN, exact boundaries, access and private-service obligations?
  5. For Bigbury House's advertised 6 bedrooms, which share a level with a bathroom and living space, and what steps are on the route from parking?

Occasional occupation: ask who checks this property while empty and what its services and insurance require.
