On 13th April 2010, a client instructed a Phew! West Drayton Conveyancing solicitor to assist in the purchase of a property located at Boxwood Close, West Drayton, London. The property was bought by the client for £ 142000. The London Borough of Hillingdon 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 that the property was solely occupied by owner or his immediate family members before the sale.
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 Hillingdon 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 Hillingdon before letting the property as HMO. Failure in doing so may result in fines, criminal conviction and other penalties.
Boxwood Close is adopted & is maintained by London Borough of Hillingdon. 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 Smart Legal.
