On 18th September 2007, a client instructed Phew! Poplar Conveyancing solicitor to assist in the purchase of a property located in Berglen Court, London. The property was bought by the client for £ 350000. The London Borough of Tower Hamlets was related to this conveyancing deal.
The conveyancing team carefully inspected the office copy entries and found that the property was Leasehold. The conveyancing team also assured that the property was solely occupied by the owner or his immediate family members before the sale.
According to lease dated 21st July 2000 & from the freehold title, there were some additional rights passing with the property, additional rights over the property and some additional restrictive covenants registered against the property. A request for a certificate has been made to the managing agents to register any new owner or legal charge.
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. 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.
Berglen Court is adopted & is maintained by London Borough of Tower Hamlets. It was revealed that internal roadways were not maintained by the Borough and a contribution had to be made towards its maintenance and repair. 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 Kingfields Solicitors and the estate agent was Franklin James Estate Agents.
