On 15th March 2010, a client instructed a Phew! Colindale Conveyancing solicitor to assist in the purchase of a property located at The Alders, Colindale, London. The property was bought for £ 232000 by the client. The London Borough of Hounslow was related to this conveyancing deal.
The conveyancing solicitor inspected the Office copy entries related to the freehold property. The absolute title of the property eliminated worries about its ownership as it was guaranteed by the registry. The conveyancing solicitor also assured that the property was occupied by the seller and his immediate family members before the sale.
The Phew! conveyancing solicitor revealed that the property stood in an area which came under the purview of Smoke Control Order and Clean air Act. As per Smoke Control Order, smoke from chimney was not allowed and the Clean air Act did not even allow smoke of any kind from other premises, as well.
There was an HMO order on the property which meant that the client must inform the London Borough of Hounslow if the property was to be occupied by more than one household as bed-sitting rooms or other non self-contained accommodation. The client must also need a licence from the London Borough of Hounslow before letting the property as HMO. Failure in doing so may result in fines, criminal conviction and other penalties.
The Alders is adopted & is maintained by London Borough of Hounslow. Our Conveyancing Solicitors’ inspection did not reveal any future plans regarding the arrival of new roads or maintenance of the existing roads.
The conveyancing solicitor who appeared for the seller was Attwells Solicitors LLP and the estate agent was Tiffin Estate Agents.
