In August 2010 Conveyancing Solicitors in London ensured fast Conveyancing for Mr P. London Property Lawyer Jaaine Intharajah acted for him on the purchase of a home on Blake Road, Bounds Green, London, N11, and made sure that everything was done to achieve an early completion date.

Details of the property were received from Ellis and Co of 10 Queens Parade, Brownlow Road, Bounds Green, London N11 2DN. They confirmed that the Conveyancing Solicitors in London acting for the sellers would be Palmers of Clarence Street, Kingston Upon Thames, London KT1 1QY. Jaaine immediately contacted them to make sure that they sent her the contract for approval together with details of their clients' title as rapidly as possible.

Search confirms that the Council has no plans affecting the house

When the paperwork was received Jaaine was able to request the usual local search carried out by Conveyancing Solicitors in London. This was sent to the London Borough of Haringey, Civic Centre, High Road, Wood Green, London N22 8LE and their replies confirmed the following:

  • Blake Road was a public adopted highway
  • there were no plans for any new road or railway nearby
  • no major roadworks were scheduled in the vicinity
  • there were no current proposals to introduce new parking regulations or traffic schemes 
  • the council had not served any statutory notices on the sellers
  • no planning applications had been made in the last ten years
  • there were no local land charges registered, such as planning restrictions or financial charges (e.g. improvement grants which would have to be repaid by the seller.)

Jaaine checked that the sellers had not made any alterations or extended the property. Although the search did not show any planning consents, this is not always needed for extensions to a property. However it may be required in some cases, so Conveyancing Solicitors in London always make relevant enquiries.

If consent should have been obtained for some work but was not then the sellers would be asked to pay for an indemnity insurance policy. Such a policy would cover any loss or expenses incurred by the buyer if the council took enforcement action.

The sellers' London Property Lawyers quickly responded to some further enquiries on the title which Jaaine had raised, and with their assistance contracts were soon exchanged and the transfer completed. Get a quote now for fast Conveyancing Solicitors in London, or phone 0330 660 0286.
