Searches in Arnold and Gedling

Arnold has a Nottingham postcode, but it sits outside the city boundary. The local authority search goes to Gedling Borough Council, which also covers Carlton, Mapperley, Burton Joyce and Calverton. Severn Trent handles the water and drainage search.

The borough had collieries at Gedling, Calverton and Newstead, so a coal mining search is often part of buying here. Burton Joyce, Netherfield and Colwick sit beside the Trent, so we look closely at the flood search there. Our guide to conveyancing searches explains what each one checks.

Things we look out for in Arnold

  • The old Gedling Colliery. Newer homes have been built on and around the former pit, next to Gedling Country Park. We check the mining search, the ground reports and any estate charges.
  • Hillside semis. Arnold and Mapperley are hilly, and many interwar semis sit above or below the road. We check boundaries, retaining walls and shared driveways.
  • Village homes. Calverton and Burton Joyce have older cottages alongside newer estates. Older homes can have shared access or private drainage, which we check before you commit.
  • Leasehold and estate charges. Some newer houses come with management charges, and a few are leasehold. Our leasehold vs freehold guide explains what to look for.

How long will it take?

Our moves typically exchange 12 weeks after you instruct us and complete 3 days later. Every move is different, and our guide to how long conveyancing takes walks through each stage.
