In June 2009 Fridaysmove residential conveyancing Surrey team previously acted on the purchase conveyancing for a freehold for a property valued at around £329,000.00 located at Quennells Hill,
Wrecclesham, Farnham, Surrey, GU10. The local authority for this property is Waverley District Council -
www.waveney.gov.uk/. Additional enquiries were raised
within the same day of receiving letter with draft contract papers (including Standard Conditions of Sale, Official Copies, Land Registry Documentation). As this property is in a
conservation area, conveyancers need take extra precautions in case any alteration have been made. The local authority search revealed that Access Road was an unadopted road in this area.
This was of concern to the buyer and their mortgage lender. Further investigations need to be made and with the sellers as to ownership of the road and practical arrangements in terms of
maintenance and upkeep. The handling conveyancer discovered that there were Planning permissions affecting this residence. The Land Registry Office Copies supplied revealed that the
sellers 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. The Land Registry documentation revealed that the property was subject to restrictions/rights/covenants as set out in a
transfer dated 19/04/1996. It was important that we check with the sellers conveyancing solicitor that the aforementioned restrictions/covenants etc. had been fully complied with. Dawn

before receiving the letter with draft contract papers. The estate agent was the Andrew Lodge Estate Agent branch covering Surrey.
