With 26% built before 1900, ask early whether a home is listed or in a conservation area, which limits the work you can do: see buying a listed building and buying in a conservation area.
Leasehold homes
40% of sales in TQ1 were leasehold, against 21% across England and Wales. Most are flats, so ask for the years left on the lease and the service charge, and read how long a lease should be and what to check about cladding.
