On 5th June 2009, a client instructed a Phew! Ealing Conveyancing solicitor to assist in the purchase of a property located on Bedford Road, London. The property was bought by the client for £324950. The London Borough of Ealing was related to this conveyancing deal.
The conveyancing solicitor carefully inspected the office copy entries and found that the property was Freehold. The conveyancing solicitor also assured that the property was solely occupied by owner or his immediate family members before the sale.
The Phew! 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 Borough of Ealing if the property is occupied by more than one household as bed-sitting rooms or other non self-contained accommodation with sharing amenities. The client must need a licence from the Borough of Ealing before letting the property as HMO. Failure in doing so might result in fines, criminal conviction and other penalties.
Bedford Road is adopted and maintained by London Borough of Ealing. Our Conveyancing Solicitors’ inspection did not reveal any future plans regarding the arrival of new roads or maintenance of the existing roads. There are various traffic controlling schemes that are about to be implemented in the area.
The conveyancing solicitor who appeared for the seller was Constantinou Solicitors and the estate agent was Townends.
