Quick Conveyancing in Ashington benefits buyer

On the purchase of a property in Ashington, NE63 Fridaysmove Conveyancing Solicitor Erica Scarlett provided a speedy service, accelerating the transaction and helping the buyers move in sooner than expected.

Mr T confirmed that he had agreed to buy a flat in Ashington,  and once he had paid the cost of the various searches, Erica arranged for a full search bundle to be obtained. That included the local search with the local council, a drainage and water search, as well as an environmental search and a search to confirm that the property would not be subject to any liability for chancel repairs. As coal mining was known to have been undertaken in the area, a coal search was also requested.

What is a 'coal search'?

The coal search commissioned from specialist consulting engineers indicated records showing underlying coal seams beneath the property. There was a likelihood that ancient shallow level workings might have been dug in the area of the flat at some time in the past. As is often the case in places with a long history of mine-working, there were no accurate records or maps of early workings. However, no shafts were recorded in the immediate locality, and in the surveyors expert opinion any settlement from old workings would have long ceased, so the flat should not be affected by subsidence.

Conveyancing Solicitors Adams Hetherington of 15, Laburnum Terrace, Ashington, NE63 0XX sent Erica a copy of the registered title, with a copy of the lease. Erica sent some further enquiries about the property to the Solicitors by return, and they promptly responded.

As all the search results were soon received, Erica was able to report to the client and contracts were rapidly exchanged.
