Conveyancing Solicitor in Sutton settles concerns

Mr and Mrs T found their dream home in Abbots Road, Cheam, Sutton and were quick to negotiate the deal with their estate agent and appoint Katie Clark, Conveyancing Solicitor in Sutton to attend the transfer.

The estate agents’ memorandum of sale detailing the vendors Conveyancing Solicitor in Sutton was obtained shortly before receiving the legal papers.  Katie Clark wasted no time and Conveyancing enquiries were issued within the same day of receiving  the purchase agreement with ancillary Conveyancing documentation including official copies.

The estate agent had assisted with the negotiations and the agreed sale price of the property was £284,000 which fell into the 3% stamp duty threshold.  The freehold property fell within the local authority area of Merton Council. Local searches were requested at the same time as the other searches.

Excitement waned as the following issues were discovered from these investigations and searches: -

• The land registry documentation revealed that the property was subject to rights/ restrictions/ covenants as set out in a deed dated August 1970. 
• Office copies showed the property was affected by a right of way 

It was important for the Conveyancing Solicitor in Sutton to thoroughly investigate the aforementioned restrictions to ensure that they were fully complied with.  After ascertaining that the property complied with the restrictions, it was important to discuss  with the clients the details of these restrictions, regarding how they would affect the clients immediately or in the future.

A right of way on a property can be a nuisance and an inconvenience so it was important for the Conveyancing Solicitor in Sutton to investigate exactly where it was on the property, how often it was used and establish if it could be used without interruption and without causing a nuisance to the clients.  Further discussions regarding the right of way with the clients settled their fears and they decided to continue with the transfer.

Completion took place in November 2009 with the help of the sellers Conveyancing Solicitors in Sutton, Royds Solicitors.
