Proactive Conveyancing Solicitors in Leicester avoid delays

The best Conveyancing Solicitors in Leicester, when acting for sellers, always obtain details of any planning consents relating to a property.

This is because buyers' Property Lawyers will require these, along with evidence that any building works carried out by the seller (or previous owners) comply with building regulations. It is obvious, therefore, that relevant documents should be obtained as soon as possible, so they can be sent with the contract.

Leicester Conveyancer Dawn Thomas acted for the sellers of a home on Long Furrow, East Goscote, Leicester, Leicestershire, LE7 3ZL. Although she asked her clients to let her have any planning documents which they held, Conveyancing Solicitors in Leicester often find that vendors do not have any paperwork. Dawn therefore also contacted the council to check their records for this property.

Copy planning approvals required by Conveyancing Solicitors in Leicester

The planning documents indicated that there was a full plans approval, and a completion certificate, for an extension to the rear of the dwelling, providing bedroom and shower room.

Copies were requested of both papers, so that Dawn could send them on to the Property Solicitors in Leicester acting for the buyers. The other side's lawyers were happy with this evidence that the extension had been properly authorised, and did not require any further proof.

Time had been saved by obtaining copies beforehand, to the satisfaction of all sides.

Of course, Dawn could have waited until the buyers' Leicester Conveyancers had received details of a property's planning history from their local Conveyancing search, and then requesting copies. However, getting copies in advance enabled contracts to be exchanged quickly, leading to a faster sale, and enabling the new owners to move in sooner.

The sale was negotiated by Harrison Murray of 10 High Street, Syston, Leicester LE7 1GP, and they too commented that with all their experience of Conveyancing Solicitors in Leicester, they thought Dawn had done an excellent job.
