A Solicitor's medieval tale:

When Conveyancer Serina Abay was acting for the buyers of a house in Manor Court, Knaresborough, she spotted that the land registry title included a note that the land on which the property stood was formerly copyhold of the manor of Knaresborough Forest and the rights saved to the lord of the manor by the Law of Property Act 1922 were reserved. Although this brought to mind visions of some medieval lord exercising rights of hunting across the property, research showed that the only right which might still be relevant was a reservation of mines and minerals beneath the land. Since the dwelling was not in an where coal or other minerals were known to exist, that was not thought to be of any significance for the clients.

This was a reminder that the law relating to land tenure has its roots extending well back into the past. Thankfully, the modern system of title registration has removed a lot of the problems and delays which arose when it was necessary to locate and copy large bundles of title deeds, and Conveyancing is now quicker as a result."

Local issues considered by Knaresborough Conveyancing Solicitors:

Conveyancing considerations for Knaresborough's conservation areas

Parts of the town are within a conservation area, which has implications for anyone buying a residence in these areas. In particular, planning restrictions are much tighter, and consent is often required for minor alterations and improvements such as the installation of replacement windows and doors to the street frontage. A local Property Lawyer will be familiar with this, and will check that the seller has not carried out any unauthorised works.

Knaresborough Contaminated Land

There are 1000s of sites contaminated by previous use throughout the country. Buyers conveyancing solicitors carry out environmental searches to find out if a property may have been built on contaminated land, or if there is such land in the immediate vicinity. Landowners whose land is contaminated may be liable for the cost of remedial works, and the cost implications can be substantial. Issues relating to contamination:

  • Inhalation of hazardous dust or gases
  • Exposure to toxic metals, e.g. lead
  • Pollution of groundwater, streams or other nearby bodies of water
