On 31st January 2007, a client instructed a Phew! Conveyancing solicitor to assist in the purchase of a property located on Alington Crescent, London. The property was bought by the client for £ 387500. The London Borough of Brent 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.
Along with what was mentioned in the lease, there were some additional rights passing with the property to the client. According to a conveyance dated, 19th February 1970, there were provisions regarding the rights to light, air and other easement. The additional restrictive covenants registered against the property apart from those mentioned in the lease are referred in the conveyance dated, 19th February 1970.
The Phew! Conveyancing Solicitor’s further enquiries revealed that the area where the house is situated was subjected to Smoke Control Order and Clean air Act. According to the Smoke Control Order, smoke from chimneys is to be prohibited. The Clear Air Act prohibited smoke from other premises as well. 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 who appeared for the seller was Redferns Solicitors and the estate agent was Salter McGuinness.
