Will commercial conveyancing searches disclose proposed roadworks that may impact a commercial land in Felixstowe?

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Felixstowe will perform a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers invest in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Felixstowe. The search result sets out definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Felixstowe.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Felixstowe it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately could cause delays to Felixstowe commercial conveyancing deals as well as pose a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not carried out for residential conveyancing in Felixstowe.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Felixstowe?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Felixstowe. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial premises in Felixstowe and how can your lawyers assist?

The 1954 Act gives protection to commercial leaseholders, giving them the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a renewal tenancy and continue in occupation at the end of an expired lease. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are involved. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing firms who use the act for protection and help with commercial conveyancing in Felixstowe

We're new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the estate agent has warned us that the seller will only proceed if we use their recommended lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Felixstowe

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to appoint your preferred Felixstowe conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by HQ.
