Covenants revealed during Conveyancing in Bromley for ex-council house

Solicitor Matthew Rumbold was instructed to handle the Conveyancing in Bromley for a freehold, mid-terrace abode at Mounthurst Road, Bromley, BR2 on behalf of purchasers Mr. and Mrs. R.

A transfer of the land on title dated 31 January 1980 contained restrictive covenants imposed by Bromley Borough Council (Civic Centre, Stockwell Close, Bromley, BR1 3UH). It was important for Matthew to bring this to the attention of the purchasers as covenant consent is completely separate to planning permission or building regulation approval.
Often, when the local authority has the benefit of a restriction, home owners will think that planning permission/building regulation approval is also consent under the terms of the covenant. Unfortunately, it does not work this way and the council must be approached (usually through their legal department) to provide consent.

Matthew also had to verify that previous works carried out at the property by the vendors were in compliance with both the provisions of the restrictive covenants and building stipulations.

Conveyancing in Bromley on behalf of the vendors was dealt with by the Thackray Williams Solicitors Bromley branch at Kings House, 32-40 Widmore Road, Bromley, Kent, BR1 1RY. Prompt responses to the additional enquiries raised by Matthew and comprehensive documentation from Thackray Willams enabled the transaction to progress rapidly towards completion.

Handling the sales marketing for the property, including the negotiated purchase price of £260,000, was Kinleigh Folkard and Hayward at 1 High Street, Bromley, BR1 1LF.
