Anderson Longmore & Higham – West Sussex Solicitors
West Sussex is full of pretty villages which are reminders of a quieter era, but which are also thriving modern places to live and, in some cases, to earn a living. Although the villages of Sussex are a lot different from how they were 150 years ago, it's still possible to see glimpses of traditional village life in many of them today.
The area has some of the most fantastic scenery in the country. This includes the South Downs National Park, Storrington, Pulborough, Petworth, Steyning, Henfield and the market town of Horsham to the north, and the City of Chichester and Chichester Harbour to the south with London, its airports and the south coast channel terminals, all within easy reach.
Pollution, over-crowding, stress or noise, whatever your reason for moving out of London and in to West Sussex, Anderson Longmore & Higham Solicitors have been helping clients to buy and sell all types of property, flats, houses, country estates and farms in the towns and villages of West Sussex for over 150 years.
The firm has four offices in prime locations in West Sussex, in Chichester, Petworth and in the beautiful downland villages of Storrington and Billingshurst. Petworth is an old market town with cobbled streets and a reputation for being a leading antiques town with a lot of character; Storrington and Billingshurst have a rural feel nestling close to the South Downs.

Anderson Longmore & Higham – Countryside Solicitiors
When buying a property in the countryside there can be problems with the legal aspects of access, especially if you gain access across property belonging to others. It is wise to obtain legal advice and understand the easements that may be necessary when these types of questions arise. For example, your utility services may cross property owned by others, it is important to make sure that the proper easements are in place to allow utilities to your property. Easements may also require you to allow construction of roads, power lines, water lines, sewer lines, etc. across your land. There may be easements that are not of record.
Boundary fences and hedges that separate properties are often misaligned with the actual property boundaries. A survey of the land is the only way to confirm the location of your property boundaries. Sometimes after a fence or hedge has been in a location long enough, even if wrong, it becomes the property boundary.
The law relating to public rights of way and public access to private land is a very complex and often controversial area of law and in the wrong hands can be a very costly business. Recognising the need for both specialist advice and cost-effective solutions, Anderson Longmore & Higham can provide both the technical expertise and the practical experience required for this field of work.
