There are a lot of properties in Axbridge on unadopted roads. I am purchasing such a property. What would be the advantages and disadvantages of buying a property on a privately owned road?

Axbridge conveyancing practices are used to transacting propertieson private. Your conveyancer will investigate title to find any rights or responsibilities. It is possible that there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that residents make annual payments to maintain the road. Where there is one, the road should be maintained and appear better than council owned.
