Conveyancing in Walton-on-Thames – Purchase of a riverside abode

Conveyancing Solicitor, Katie Clark, acted on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. F for the purchase of their home on Ashley Road, Walton-On-Thames, Surrey, KT12. The local authority is Elmbridge borough council.

The transaction was completed without delays in July 2010 and the purchasers were happy and excited to enjoy the rest of the summer at their new residence; Walton on Thames is a pleasant riverside town with a shopping centre boasting many designer shops and a multitude of high profile restaurants with al fresco summer time dining.

Katie worked closely with the seller’s Conveyancing Solicitor to facilitate a fast and stress free transaction for both parties and to ensure that all enquiries from her clients were addressed. The seller’s Conveyancing Solicitor was Richard Wilson and Co.

Katie was concerned when conducting the local area search that there is a high level of air pollution in Walton due to high levels of vehicle traffic. The council is however taking measures to reduce this pollution and is encouraging pedestrian transportation, such as walking and cycling.

Flooding from rivers and coastal waters was also a concern and is a main issue from a Conveyancing perspective. Katie liaised with the local planning authorities to view their policy statements and precautionary measures as her clients were also very concerned in regards to this matter. Flooding can also occur from groundwater, sewers and other non-natural or artificial sources. Flooding from any source can threaten life and cause substantial damage to property. Although it cannot be wholly prevented, its impacts can be reduced through good planning and management.

Shortly before receiving the sale and purchase agreement, the memo of sale detailing the sellers' Conveyancing Solicitor was produced by the estate agent, Martin Flashman and Co. at 37 High Street, Walton On Thames, Surrey, KT12 1DG.

Katie’s clients were impressed by her local knowledge of the area and expertise and were pleased with how fast the process progressed.

Fridaysmove thanks Richard Wilson and Martin Flashman for their professional and expert team work that led to a successful transaction.
