On 17th November 2006, a client instructed a Phew! Conveyancing solicitor to assist in the purchase of a property located on Dorset Avenue, London. The property was bought by the client for £ 233000. The London Borough of Bexley was related to this conveyancing deal.
The conveyancing solicitor examined the office copy entries at the land registry. The property was freehold and the title absolute which alleviated concerns regarding ownership. It was also made clear that the property was solely occupied by the seller and his immediate family.
Some additional restrictive covenants were registered against the property. According to them, only one dwelling house along with garage could be erected on the property. The client also should maintain boundaries in the form of walls or fences by the side marked with letter ‘T’ towards the south western, south eastern and north western boundaries of the property. The client could use the property only for the sole purpose of dwelling. Also, the client should not put any hindrance in any form towards the right to use of light and air.
It was also revealed that Dorset Avenue is adopted and maintained by the London Borough of Bexley. 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 for the seller was Cook Taylor Woodhouse and the Estate agent was Robinson Bellegrove & Jackson.
