On 3rd September 2007, a client instructed Phew! Dartford Conveyancing solicitor to assist in the purchase of a property located on Woodfall Drive, London. The property was bought by the client for £ 149000. The London Borough of Bexley 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 occupied by the seller or his immediate family members before the sale. A Tree Preservation Order was registered against the property by the local planning authority to protect trees from deliberate damage and destruction. This order also prevented the felling, lopping, topping, uprooting or wilful damaging of trees.
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 allowed smoke of any kind from other premises, as well. The property is within an archaeologically important area, which means there will be restrictions on planning permission if work involves disruption of the ground, flooding or tipping. A six-week notice must be served for an excavation work to be carried out.
Woodfall Drive is adopted and hence maintained by 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. A contribution towards the maintenance of the parking space is to be provided since it is not adopted. A request to the Sellers’ Solicitor has already been made to find out the arrangement. Planning permission has been granted prior to 1986. The property is within view of a primarily residential area as well as Eaglesfield Recreation Ground.
The conveyancing solicitor who appeared for the seller was Cook Taylor Woodhouse and the estate agent was Spicerhaart.
