Purchase of freehold residential dwelling : Milk Street, Bromley, BR1 - Conveyancing in Bickley

In January 2007 our property conveyancing Bickley team handled the purchase conveyancing for a freehold for a residential dwelling valued at around £255,000.00 located at Milk Street, Bromley, BR1.

The local authority area of the property is Bromley District Council - www.bromley.gov.uk/. A risk of natural subsidence was uncovered - further details can be viewed in the environmental searches. The local authority search revealed that Part of Milk Street 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 owners as to ownership of the road and practical arrangements in terms of maintenance and upkeep.

Planning permissions were revealed on the property and investigated by our conveyancing in Bickley planning department. A risk of natural subsidence was uncovered - further details can be viewed in the environmental searches. The Land Registry Office Copies supplied revealed that the owners 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 owners. The Land Registry documentation revealed that the property was subject to restrictions/rights/covenants as set out in a transfer dated 16/08/2005. It was important that we check with the owners property solicitor that the aforementioned restrictions/covenants etc. had been fully complied with.
