An example of Conveyancing Solicitor in Bradford's work

Bradford Conveyancer Catherine Williams recently acted for Mr and Mrs G on their purchase of an apartment on Skipton Road, Ilkley, nr. Bradford, West Yorkshire, LS29. The property formed part of a large late-Victorian house, which had been split into two apartments some years previously.

Conveyancing Solicitors in Bradford often find with such converted buildings that the freehold is owned jointly by the proprietors of each of the apartments, as was the case here.

Catherine therefore had to to make sure that, in addition to the transfer of the leasehold title, the sellers also signed a further transfer deed together with owner of the other flat, so that the buyers would acquire the half-share of the freehold title.

The sellers' agents, Dacre Son and Hartley of 1-5 The Grove, Ilkley, nr. Bradford, West Yorkshire LS29 9HS, confirmed details of the price agreed. Ilkley lies within the area of Bradford Metropolitan District Council, so Catherine sent her application for the usual local search to their offices at Jacobs Well, Bradford, BD1 5RW.

Tree Preservation Order (TPO) affected trees in the property's garden

The results were returned to Fridaysmove's approved Conveyancing Solicitor in Bradford within a few days, and indicated among other information that there was a tree preservation order.

Catherine contacted the sellers' Conveyancing Solicitors, Savage Crangle and Co. of 15 High Street, Skipton, nr. Bradford, BD23 1AJ to ask them to supply a copy of this TPO. Such orders are often irrelevant to the owners of flats, but in this case it was important as the apartment had the benefit of part of the garden, and the protected trees were a feature of the property.

Once that had been obtained the contracts were signed and the purchase was soon completed. For fast Conveyancing Solicitors in Bradford get a quote now or phone 0330 660 0286.
