Charity land rules
Under the Charities Act 2011, as amended, charity trustees usually need advice from a designated adviser, such as a qualified surveyor, before selling land.
Best terms
Trustees must get the best terms reasonably obtainable. Our written offer helps your adviser compare options.

Old trust deeds can carry covenants or rights that we check early.
