On 30th March 2007, the Phew conveyancing team was asked by a client to assist in the purchase of a property located on Dale Road, Dartford, London. The property was bought for £ 182000 by the client. The London Borough of Bexley was related to this conveyancing deal.
The conveyancing team inspected the office copy entries related to the freehold property. The absolute title of the property eliminated all worries about its ownership as it was guaranteed by the registry. The team also ensured that the property was solely occupied by the seller or his family members before the sale.
According to a transfer dated 8th June 1987, there were some additional rights passing with the property, over the property and some additional restrictive covenants registered against the property. The client was only allowed to have single family residence in the property. The client was also required to contribute towards maintenance and repair of the property.
The conveyancing team also exposed that the property stood in an area which came under the Smoke Control Order and Clean air Act. According to the Smoke Control Order, excess smoke from chimney was not allowed and according to the Clean Air Act smoke of any kind from other premises was not allowed, as well. The property also came under “Archaeological Important” area, according to which any sort of disruption, flooding or tipping on the ground was not allowed. Also a 6-weeks prior notice must be given to the seller before carrying out any sort of excavation.
Dale Road is maintained by London Borough of Bexley. There were also no future plans for arrival of new roads or maintenance of the existing roads.
The conveyancing solicitor who appeared for the seller was Kingsley Smith Solicitors and the Estate agent was Halifax Estate Agents.
