The handling conveyancer discovered that there were planning permissions affecting this residence.  The conveyancing searches revealed that the property was at risk of natural flooding (as shown on area environmental searches) so therefore 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 cover the risk of flooding.

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, which was told in a transfer dated 10/10/1987.  It was important that we check with the vendors licensed conveyancer that the aforementioned restrictions/covenants etc. had been fully complied with.
