Conveyancing this Sheffield property ensured purchaser did not inherit debt

Location of Mather Crescent Sheffield

Ms. Jackie Angela T instructed Fridaysmove to manage the Sheffield Conveyancing of her new home in South Yorkshire, S9. 

Ms. T, who also sold her home in Sheffield, instructed Fridaysmove not only because we offer Cheap Conveyancing Quotes in Sheffield but also due to our experience handling probate matters.

Completing on 25 November, Stephanie Gerstler was the 10 year experienced Solicitor assigned to the client.  Highly knowledgeable of the property market in the Sheffield area, she raised formal enquiries to the seller's Solicitor - Taylor and Emmet Solicitor at 890-892, Ecclesall Road, Sheffield, S11 8TP.

The property on Mather Crescent, Sheffield, S9, was sold under a grant of probate necessitating more in depth investigation into the legal documentation relating to the probate case.  Being extra vigilant, Stephanie spotted a restriction on the property set out in a conveyance dated 08/12/1997  (confirming that this had been complied with).

She also discovered a Housing Act Charge in the Office Copies (OCs) provided by the probate property solicitor.  Stephanie ensured that this financial charge was repaid so that our client did not inherit the debt as can happen when overlooked.

A discrepancy between details of the owners in the purchase agreement and the official copies was clarified also.

Sheffield City Council assisted in the transaction as well as Winkworth estate agents.

Land Registry formalities proceeded without issue and the freehold home completed at a selling price of £85,000.
