intouch

Summer 2019

This edition features an insight into the difficulties that can arise when a listed building is the subject of enforcement action by the local authority, and we have two case studies that show how these claims can escalate. We also look at our growing Business Development team, our approach to combining policies, and the evergreen issue that is Japanese Knotweed. And we talk to Simon Parker from Ashtons Legal about what made him choose conveyancing, and why he loves running.

If you'd like to talk to us about any of the topics discussed in our articles, or to simply find out more about our products and services, call 01603 617617 or email enquiries@cli.co.uk.
