Allied Law can give advice and assistance on various aspects of land law, as it contains a wealth of experience ranging from the drafting of a tenancy agreement to the investigating of a boundary dispute.
For example; you may have an old barn on your land, and you wish to make a "few bob" by converting it into a "des. Res." that many would give their "hard earned" to buy off you.
However, before you outlay your own "hard earned" on new bricks and mortar, you should consider the fact that planning permission has to be sought off your local authority. If you choose not to, then you may wish to firstly consider the penalties you may face under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 i.e. such an infringement of the law is a criminal offence and carries with it a maximum fine of £20,000 on summary conviction in the Magistrates Court, or an unlimited fine in the Crown Court.
You could choose to live in the barn for four years and then claim a Certificate of Lawful Use, but you’re not the "son of a carpenter" and miracles such as that rarely happen, as sure as "eggs are eggs" one of your neighbours will inform the Council that you’re removing the horse’s bridles and installing a toilet, bath, kitchen, king size double bed and probably Sky television… and then "you’ll be in trouble".
Therefore, if you’re in such "trouble", or require urgent or "out of office hours" advice and assistance about any of the following: a lease, right of way, trespass to land, environmental protection issue, or if you are buying or selling your property [but not the barn], etc. etc. then contact-
