Fridaysmove ’s Conveyancing in Kingston-upon-Thames team will ensure that all previous works done on a property are in full compliance with restrictions relating to building and planning permissions. This is especially true in regards to homes in Kingston-upon-Thames that are noted as being listed buildings. Renovations for buildings on the list will require consent by the local planning authority. This can be as minor as painting the exterior of a home or even simple repairs.

The local authority in Kingston-upon-Thames, KT1, is Kingston council at Guildhall, High Street, Kingston upon Thames, KT1 1EU. If you build something that needs permission without first obtaining it, you may be required to correct it later, which could prove troublesome and expensive. You also risk having to remove an entire building if it is not authorised as retrospective approval is not granted. There are 9 recently listed buildings in Kingston and on average 2-3 buildings are listed within the borough every year, so it is important to keep up-to-date if you are a home owner as this will affect whether or not you will need planning permission for intended works/renovations.

In October 2009, Property Lawyer and registered Conveyancer, Jane Lim handled the Conveyancing for Mr. and Mrs. C for a home on South Lane, Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey, KT1, which was valued at £390,000. The land registry documentation revealed that there were planning restrictions affecting the property and Jane had to confirm with the sellers and their Conveyancing Solicitor that previous works carried out to house were in full compliance with these restrictions. It was also revealed that the sellers had owned the property for less than five years and as such there was a danger that the transfer of the property could be set aside if it was established that the property within that five year period was a transfer at undervalue.

The seller’s Conveyancing Solicitor was the Colemans branch covering Kingston at 25-29 High Street, Kingston-Upon-Thames, KT1 1LL.

The estate agent’s was Greenfield at 61 Fife Road, Kingston-Upon-Thames, Surrey, KT1 1SF.
