"When buying a home with a septic tank, verify its installation and service history, check if it's shared, and confirm compliance with environmental laws."
Buying a house with a septic tank is a crucial consideration for country buyers, as approximately 300,000 to 500,000 homes in England and Wales use them. It's essential to verify the septic tank's history, including its installation and service dates, and whether it is shared with adjacent properties. Consulting with a conveyancing solicitor can provide insights into necessary agreements, maintenance responsibilities, and ensures compliance with environmental laws to avoid pollution risks. Shared tanks might decelerate the sale process but can result in shared maintenance costs and oversight.
