How to avoid delays during your Conveyancing in Bradford

The land registration system has greatly simplified Conveyancing in Bradford. Nevertheless, Solicitors are still faced with investigating myriad other legal matters which may impact upon homebuyers.

The old system of Conveyancing in Bradford required Conveyancers to read through a bundle of old title deeds to check that the seller owned the property being sold. Title registration has largely replaced this, and it is simple to check ownership from a copy of the register.

However, when carrying out House Conveyancing for homebuyers, Property Lawyers must remain watchful of legal matters affecting the property. This includes checking whether a home or any extension has appropriate planning permission, and that any alterations were carried out in accordance with building regulations.

Proactive Conveyancing in Bradford

When Conveyancing Solicitor Elaine Fannon received instructions for the sale of a home on Moor Lane, Keighley, Bradford BD22 in 2010, she knew that the firm carrying out the Conveyancing in Bradford for the buyers would require details of any planning approvals.

So, in addition to downloading a copy of her client's property title, she also checked with Bradford City Council's planning department at Jacob's Well, Nelson Street, Bradford, BD1 5RW.

The council confirmed that in addition to the consent for the construction of the small development on which this house was located, there was a later permission for the erection of a lean-to garage at the side of the house. Elaine obtained copies of both of these, together with the completion certificates showing that both the house and garage had been constructed in accordance with building regulations.

Being able to send these copies to buyers' Solicitors Armstrong Wood & Bridgman LLP of 12-16 North Street, Keighley, Bradford, West Yorkshire BD21 3SE simultaneously with the contract and other documents saved considerable time. This meant that the sale was able to proceed quickly, with completion taking place within a few weeks of the sale being agreed.
