On 17th March 2010, a client instructed a Phew! Dagenham Conveyancing solicitor to assist in the purchase of a property located on Reede Road, Dagenham, London. The property was bought for £ 165000 by the client. The London Borough of Barking and Dagenham was related to this conveyancing deal.
The Conveyancing team inspected the office copy entries related to the freehold property. The property held an absolute title which eliminated all worries about its ownership as it was guaranteed by the registry. The team also ensured that the property was solely occupied by the seller or his family members before the sale.
There were some additional rights passing with the property, over the property as well as some additional restrictive covenants registered against the property. The copy of the same has been requested from the sellers’ solicitors’. The conveyancing team also revealed that the property stood in an area which came under the purview of Smoke Control Order and Clean air Act. According to the Smoke Control Order, excess smoke from chimney was not allowed to be disposed into the environment and according to the Clean Air Act smoke of any kind from other premises was not allowed.
Also, there was an HMO order according to which London Borough of Barking and Dagenham must be informed, if the property was to be occupied by more than one family as bed or sitting rooms or any other non self-contained accommodation with some sharing facilities. A licence from the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham was required before the property is let as HMO. Failure in abiding by the rule might pave way for legal action.
Reede Road is adopted & therefore it is maintained by London Borough of Barking and Dagenham. Our Conveyancing Solicitors’ inspection did not reveal any plans regarding the arrival of new roads or maintenance of the existing roads within 200 metres of the property in the future.
The conveyancing solicitor who appeared for the seller was Gilbert Turner Coomber and the Estate agent was Steps Estate Agents.
