In September 2007 our conveyancing West Sussex team took instruction on the purchase conveyancing for a freehold for a home valued at around £360,000.00 located at Turners Hill Road, Crawley Down, Crawley, West Sussex, RH10. This property is in the local authority of Crawley Council - www.crawley.gov.uk/.
The home was noted as a listed building. We needed to obtain a copy of the listing and ensure that all previous works at the property complied with the listed building requirements and planning permissions.
The Land Registry Office Copies supplied revealed that the registered proprietors had owned the property for less than five years and as such there was a danger that the transfer of the property to the seller could be set aside if it was established that the property within that five year period was a Transfer at Undervalue. A right of way was revealed in the Office Copies supplied by the Land Registry. Our conveyancing lawyer ensured that the right of way was used without interruption and without causing a nuisance to the registered proprietors.
The Land Registry documentation revealed that the property was subject to restrictions/rights/covenants as set out in a conveyance dated 13/09/1964. It was important that we check with the registered proprietors conveyancing solicitor that the aforementioned restrictions/covenants etc. had been fully complied with. Sayrha Elahi was the property lawyer in charge of conveyancing in West Sussex, South East England.
