Solicitor Simon Cozier was instructed by purchasers Mr. and Mrs. Y to handle the Conveyancing in Harrow for a residential abode situated on All Saints Mews in Harrow, HA3.
Within the same day of receiving the draft contract from the vendor’s Solicitor at Maffey and Brentnall, including documentation from the land registry, Simon raised a number of additional enquiries on behalf of the buyers.
Standard searches for Conveyancing in Harrow, including an environmental assessment, were carried out via the local authority district, Harrow Borough Council, at Civic Centre, Station Road, Harrow, Middlesex HA1 2XF. Results revealed that the property was at risk for natural flooding and Simon needed to check with the vendor’s Conveyancing Solicitor to ascertain whether or not there was any previous flooding at the dwelling and to ensure that the appropriate insurance coverage was obtained by his clients.
There are approximately 3,000 properties at risk in Harrow borough; however the majority are classified as having moderate or low likelihood of flooding and buyers should not be discouraged from purchasing in the area; a Solicitor that is experienced in Conveyancing in Harrow will be able to advise you on any issues.
Local search results also confirmed that there was a tree preservation order, dated 09/10/1980, affecting the dwelling. Simon advised his clients on the date the order was made, the plan and the schedule (where the protected trees are identified) and explained the consequences.
While the order could interfere with your reasonable enjoyment of the property, it can also be worth considering as an investment. By investing in your trees you could be directly improving your property and the appearance of the surrounding urban landscape. Having mature trees in your property can potentially increase its resale value by providing a pleasant setting in which to live.
The order was not a major issue for the buyers and Simon was able to progress with the next stages of the transaction. The sales contract was received from the agent, the Gibbs Gillespie sales branch at 303-305 Rayners Lane, Harrow, Middlesex, HA5 5EH, prior to the final exchange of Conveyancing details.
Both parties were delighted that the transaction completed according to schedule.
