How do I go about buying additional garden land adjacent to my property?

Newcastle City Council is undertaking a strategic review of all of its land and property holdings as part of a Strategic Asset Management Plan.  At this time, we have paused the garden land disposal plan pending a formal review of processes.

I pay ground rent to the Council and the lease says I have to register any assignment. What do I do?

You or your solicitor should, within 1 month of the assignment, send a copy of the assignment together with the appropriate registration fee, to the Assistant Director,  Legal Services, Civic Centre, Newcastle Upon Tyne, NE99 2BN. This will enable your details to be amended on the Council's corporate property management records to prevent a billing being addressed to an incorrect address.
