Conveyancing in Swindon reveals 1975 Restrictions on Freehold Residence

During Conveyancing in Swindon, restrictive covenants could arise from many sources, and may be registered against titles or included in leases. They can exist for safety purposes, such as a covenant forbidding the construction of tall buildings in the vicinity of an airport, or a limitation to the height of fences on corner lots (so as not to interfere with drivers' sight lines). They can concern everything from the height and size of buildings to the materials used in construction to superficial matters such as paint colour and holiday decorations. Almost all properties have them, and although most are minor, it is wise for a prospective buyer to find out what limitations have been put in place before they purchase a home.

For instance, some not only impact how an owner may use their property - by limiting the kinds of exterior structures that can be built onto it - but they can even dictate acceptable colours that a house can be painted! It is not unusual for a buyer to discover, long after they've owned the home, about a pesky restriction that does get in their way. Perhaps the gazebo or enclosed patio they have always wanted is prohibited. Expert Conveyancing can assist to ensure that these issues are identified beforehand so as not to become major issues later on.

Fridaysmove Coveyancing in Swindon, in dealing with the purchase of a home valued at £132k, had discovered several covenants dating back to 1975 according to land registry documentation on a freehold residence. Conveyancing Solicitor in Swindon, Irene Bonsu-Amoako, handled the purchase which took place in August 2010, to ensure that the aforementioned restrictions were complied with.
Irene was sensitive to the covenants and aided Mr and Mrs T in their purchase by requesting new land registry copies from the seller’s Solicitor, Carter Read & Dove, as the records supplied initially were found to be out-dated.

The estate agent's particulars of sale, detailing the registered owners’ Conveyancing specialist, were obtained shortly before receiving the Conveyancing agreement.  The estate agent was the Parkers Properties branch covering Swindon and located at 99 Commercial Road, Swindon, Wiltshire, SN1 5PL.
