On 12th September 2011, a client instructed a Phew! Stratford Conveyancing solicitor to assist in the purchase of a property located on Shirley Road, Stratford, London. The property was bought by the client for £ 195000. The London Borough of Newham was related to this conveyancing deal.
The conveyancing solicitor carefully inspected the office copy entries and found that the property was leasehold. The conveyancing solicitor also assured the property to be solely occupied by the owner and his immediate family members.
The conveyancing solicitor also 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 Newham 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 Newham before letting the property as HMO. Failure in doing so may result in fines, criminal conviction and other penalties.
Shirley Road is adopted & maintained by London Borough of Newham. 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 T J Ball & Co and the estate agent was T J Ball & Co.
