On 11th October 2007, a Phew! conveyancing solicitor was instructed by a client to assist him in purchase of a property located on Winn Road, London. The property was sold for £ 462500 to the client. London Borough of Lewisham was the local authority concerned with the conveyancing deal.
The Phew! conveyancing solicitor examined the complete official copy entries at the land registry and it was found that the property was freehold. The title was revealed to be absolute which alleviated concerns regarding ownership. The conveyancing solicitor also revealed that the property was occupied by the seller or his immediate family before the sale.
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. It was also revealed that Winn Road is adopted and maintained by the London Borough of Lewisham. Our Conveyancing Solicitors’ inspection did not reveal any future plans regarding the arrival of new roads or maintenance of the existing roads.
