The Seller applied for a Local Search of the Property on 17 September 2014. Results are not yet received but will be passed on to any buyer as soon as practicable upon receipt.
Following an extensive search program, the Seller has not been able to locate copies of the s106 agreement dated 9 August 2000 nor the wayleave dated 23 April 2001 (both of which are referred to in the lease). The Seller is unable to comment whether any obligations subsist thereunder. It is not aware of any third party seeking to enforce the agreements’ terms.
The Seller owns shares in a management company, MM3 Molly Millars Lane Management Company Limited, which will be transferred to the buyer on completion. A copy of the share certificate and annual return are in the sales pack.
The management company is responsible for carrying out various services in relation to the estate under the terms of a transfer dated 27 September 2002. The Seller is responsible for contributing towards the maintenance costs under the 19 January 2004 deed of covenant. Both documents are in the sales pack. The Seller does not know whether any services or maintenance has been carried out in recent years. As far it is aware, no associated contributions have been made or demanded during the Seller’s ownership.
The claim for flooding in 2007 was in relation to a storm. The total claim including fees paid was for £5,635.

The Seller was under different management at the time of the original flood and has no further information.
The registered proprietor is Instox Limited, who were the original contracting party under the lease. Rent demands are being addressed to “Mueller Primaflow”. The Seller does not have any papers to document an assignment or subletting.
With reference to the Special Conditions, the seller and buyer will enter into the capital allowance election in the form now provided in the Sales Pack.
The Seller confirms that its building insurance was renewed in September 2014. Since the insurer is aware of this auction, it has agreed for the insurance premium to be paid pro-rata in arrears following completion of sale of this unit.
