In October 2008 our residential conveyancing Dulwich team handled the purchase conveyancing for a freehold for a residential conveyancing valued at around £880,000.00 located at Dulwich,
SE21. This property is in the local authority of Southwark Council Borough Of London -
www.southwark.gov.uk/. Comprehensive conveyancing enquiries were emailed
within the same day of receiving contract papers (including conveyancing searches, Official Copies, Copy Deeds). 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. Standard environmental conveyancing in Dulwich searches
conducted during conveyancing process revealed that radon gas risk could be an issue affecting properties in this region. The Land Registry Office Copies supplied were out of date and
accordingly fresh copies were requested from the vendors conveyancing solicitor. The Land Registry Office Copies supplied revealed that the vendors 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 17/01/1977. It was important
that we check with the vendors property lawyer that the aforementioned restrictions/covenants etc. had been fully complied with. The managing agent is Dulwich Estates. Dawn Thomas was the
property lawyer in charge of conveyancing in Dulwich, Southwark, South East London, London. The estate agent's memorandum of sale detailing the vendors property lawyer was obtained
shortly before receiving the contract papers. The estate agent was the Harvey and Wheeler branch covering Dulwich. -
