Mr and Mrs H recently put in an offer on a freehold detached house on Haighside Way, Rothwell, Leeds, LS26 and needed to move by the end of June.
When faced with such a tight timeframe, finding a proactive Conveyancing Solicitor in Leeds with an eye for detail is essential. Fortunately, our Fridaysmove-approved Conveyancing Solicitor in Leeds, Catherine, proved to be up to the challenge.
As soon as she received the sales details from their agents, the Yourmove branch at 50-52 Commercial Street, Rothwell, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS26 0QB, Catherine chased up the Conveyancers acting for the seller to insist that they sent the contract papers immediately.
Fortunately, this paperwork had already been prepared, and so was sent swiftly to Catherine for her approval.
The Conveyancing Solicitors in Leeds carrying out the Conveyancing for the sellers were Christopher J Greaves and Co of 9-13 Commercial Street Rothwell Leeds West Yorkshire LS26 0AX. In addition to the contract and a copy of the property title, they also sent their clients’ replies to the usual form of property enquiries, and a list of the various fittings and other items which were included in the sale.
This was requested immediately from Leeds City Council Civic Hall, Calverley Street, Leeds, LS1 1UR. The search confirmed that Haighside Way was an adopted public road. It also revealed that the council had previously granted building regulation approval for a detached pre-cast concrete garage to the rear of the house.
This garage was shown on the agent’s photos of the property, and Catherine was pleased to find that the proper consent had been obtained for its erection.
Unfortunately, permission for an alteration or extension can often be missing. In such cases, there is a chance that when an inexperienced Conveyancing Solicitor is under pressure to complete the work fast, this will be missed.
The consequences for the new owner can be severe, as the local council may demand the property be returned to its original state, at the buyer’s expense.
Thanks to this Leeds Conveyancing Solicitor’s professionalism, however, this was not an issue.
By time Catherine had completed her work, the buyers’ mortgage offer had come through. As she was satisfied that the legal title was in order and had received satisfactory replies to her enquiries, Catherine had her clients sign the contract and mortgage documents, and swiftly arranged the completion.
Both parties’ agents expressed their appreciation for the prompt and efficient way that Catherine handled this purchase.
