Purchase of freehold residential home : Bromley, Kent, BR2 - Conveyancing in Hayes and Keston -

In March 2008 our specialist conveyancing Hayes and Keston team were handling the purchase conveyancing for a freehold for a residential home valued at around £270,000.00 located at Bromley, Kent, BR2. This property is in the local authority area of Bromley District Council - www.bromley.gov.uk/. A risk of natural subsidence was uncovered - further details can be viewed in the environmental searches. Additional conveyancing questions were rendered within the same day of receiving legal papers. The conveyancing searches revealed that the property was at risk of natural flooding (as shown on area environmental searches). We needed to check with the vendors whether or not the property had ever suffered from flooding as well as make sure that the insurance would be available to cover the risk of flooding. 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 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 conveyance dated 01/12/1880. It was important that we check with the vendors licensed conveyancer that the aforementioned restrictions/covenants etc. had been fully complied with.
