On 28th April 2011, a client instructed a Phew! Ilford Conveyancing solicitor to assist in the purchase of a property located at Oaks Lane, Ilford, London. The property was bought for £249995 by the client. The London Borough of Redbridge 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 solicitor also assured that the property was occupied by the seller and his immediate family members before the sale.
There were some additional rights passing with the property as per conveyance dated 8th March 1965 referred in entry 2 of the property register. The owner had the access to use service installations in adjoining property for the benefit of his property. He had the access to acquire support from adjoining buildings. He had the access over the passageway partially included in his property as well as adjoining property.

There were also some additional restrictive covenants registered against the property according to Conveyance dated 8th March 1965 referred in entry 1 of the charges register. The owner must use the property as a private dwelling house only. No works that may reduce the value of neighbouring properties must be carried out.
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 Redbridge 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 Redbridge before letting the property as HMO. Failure in doing so may result in fines, criminal conviction and other penalties.
Oaks Lane is adopted & maintained by London Borough of Redbridge. Our Conveyancing Solicitors’ inspection did not reveal any future plans regarding arrival of new roads or maintenance of existing roads.
The conveyancing solicitor who appeared for the seller was Rawlison Butler LLP and the estate agent was Arbon & Miller Estate Agents.
