Please note:
The LIM contains the information we hold in our records, not from a site visit.
If any unconsented works have taken place on the property without our knowledge (whether or not the work is exempt from the requirement for a consent) we may not have access to this information so it may not be included in a LIM report.
We recommend you inspect the site and also get expert opinion on the property.
A LIM will not provide full details of building or planning restrictions applying to a site.
