Conveyancing in Wigan success despite major environmental concerns

Fridaysmove ’s Conveyancing Solicitors in Wigan possess a vast amount of experience from handling numerous transactions in Wigan and the Greater Manchester area. Common concerns that normally arise are always from an environmental standpoint, specifically flood risks and the effects of coal mining given the town’s history of industrialisation. Certain areas are more susceptible to others and your Conveyancing Solicitor will therefore investigate the risks on a case by case basis.

Conveyancing Solicitor Elaine Fannon handled the Conveyancing on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. C for the purchase of a detached house on Beechfield Drive, Wigan, WN7 in April 2010.

Elaine, having experience and local knowledge in the Wigan area, was quite concerned about the risks of natural flooding and the effects of shallow mining, which were not surprisingly highlighted in the results of the environmental search. The sellers and their Conveyancing Solicitor reassured Elaine that the property had never suffered directly from flooding, as this was important information to have to ensure the appropriate insurance coverage was obtained.

The seller’s Conveyancing Solicitor was the Drydens Lawyers branch covering the Greater Manchester area.

The environmental search also revealed that there may be a chance of shallow mining affecting the area.  This was reconciled by the results of the local area search which identified an ongoing sustainability and regeneration project by the local council to tackle this issue.

The local authority for the home is Wigan council, whose office is located in the Town Hall, Library Street, Wigan, WN1 1YN. For more information about the Wigan area, consult their website – www.wigan.gov.uk.

The purchasers were relieved that all their questions were answered and they had no outstanding issues to worry about. With that being said, the estate agent's particulars of sale with details from the registered owners’ Conveyancing Solicitor were obtained shortly before receiving the Conveyancing documentation. 

The estate agent was the Hatton Munro and Partners branch covering Wigan at 8-10 Bold Street, WN7 1AL.
