The predicted EPC for Threshing Barn is shown below: GENERAL REMARKS TENURE: The property has freehold title with vacant possession on completion. TITLE: The property is sold subject to all existing burdens (covenants, wayleaves, rights of way, easements, rights of access, ancient monuments, etc.) whether public or private and whether constituted in the title or not. The purchasers will be held to have satisfied themselves as to the nature of such burdens and are advised to contact the Vendor s solicitor for further information. It should be noted that: A right of access will be granted to the purchaser of Barn 1 across the driveway leading to the farmhouse to facilitate the installation of a sewer pipe to connect to the bio-disc sewage treatment system (see below). CLAWBACK The property is being sold subject to a Clawback provision as detailed:- This clause only applies to the loose boxes (garages) and yard area with Barn 2. In respect of increases in the value of the property resulting from the grant of Planning Permission for purposes other than agriculture, the amount to be paid by the Purchaser (or any subsequent owner) to the Vendor, or his Heirs, will be 25% of the increase in value triggered within the first 30 years from completion of the sale. There are De Minimis provisions intended to ensure that one off planning consents/change of use where the resulting increase in value is less than 15,000 are not subject to clawback.
For information, the amount of increase is usually calculated by assessing the value of the relevant property with all planning permissions/allocations accrued and deducting from this value the aggregate of the current use value and the relevant costs incurred in achieving any planning permissions. SERVICES: Mains electricity, gas and water are close to the barns while a sewage bio-disc plant, or similar, is to be installed by the purchasers of the barns in the location indicated on the approved plans (or other location with the approval of Copeland Building Control). The cost of installation and subsequent maintenance of this system is to be split equally between Barn 1 and the two dwellings in Barn 2 i.e. 1/3 rd of the cost to each of the 3 dwellings. SALE PLAN: The Sale Plans herewith attached have been prepared by the Agents for the convenience of prospective purchasers. They are believed to be correct, but any error shall not affect the sale. The purchasers must satisfy themselves as to the accuracy. It should be noted that the boundary lines between the properties as shown on the approved plans were indicative and have since been revised as per the attached detailed boundary plan. The Vendor s planning consultant was informed by Copeland planning officers that formal planning consent was not required for this variation to the plans. GENERAL RESERVATIONS: The right is reserved to the Vendor to amend, alter and incorporate fresh provisions in respect of the above matters.
