Blake Lapthorn: Specialist Schooling Solved
Seeking a Home near a Specialist School by selecting Premier Property Search
Who is the client?
Blake Lapthorn Solicitors deal with complex legal cases covering Clinical and Personal injury claims. They place considerable emphasis and importance on supporting their clients and their families. Through accident, injury or clinical negligence children, adults and their families often find their current home is not suitable for someone with a disability. Sometimes their current property cannot be adapted sufficiently to meet their needs or it is in the wrong location for Specialist Education. They also have other family members to take into consideration as well as considering the carers and support team.Once the Personal Injury and Clinical Negligence claims have progressed through the courts an assessment can be made about how much money can be spent on a property and the adaption that is required.
One such family of four needed to move to enable their daughter to attend a Specialist School whilst still taking into account the needs of the rest of their family.
When did this project start and when was it completed?
The project started in October 2010 with our involvement in finding them a rental home for one year whilst they settled into the area and waited for the work on their purchased home to gain planning permission and be carried out. Our involvement with the project ended in May 2011.What problem(s) did the client have?
The family needed their daughter to attend a specialist school which involved them moving to a new, unfamiliar area and settling their daughter into the specialist school whilst settling into a new area themselves. Their Case Management Team recommended that the family move into rented accommodation in the first instance so that they could ensure that the area was the right one for the whole family and importantly that the local specialist school was the right choice for their daughter.What actions were taken to solve the problem(s)?
Premier Property Search viewed and assessed the rental properties with the family and secured a property, negotiating the tenancy agreement and assisting with the co-ordination of the move.After a few months, the family were happily settled into the area and felt ready to make the next move, with Premier Property Search and purchase a property which could be adapted for their daughter’s special needs and the family’s requirements.
The house needed to be large enough for a growing young family and have space for a self-contained annexe for the carers. It also needed to have easy access to the school but not be isolated.
The family wanted to move from rented accommodation rather than continue renting for over a year. It was therefore important to secure the right house as quickly as possible as the family knew that a considerable amount of work would be required for any house they purchased.
What were the results?
Within one month Premier Property Search negotiated the purchase with a ‘long stop’ completion date, in a village on the outskirts of Lincoln. The transaction included reasonable access to the property for professionals and tradesman to plan the detailed adaptation programme and meant that the family were able to move into their new property in time for the start of the new school year.Nigel Sellers, Director, Premier Property Service about working with Client:
“We were involved with this family for a long period of time. Firstly, finding their rental property for them and then finding the property which they purchased. The negotiations were complex owing to the space required. For the family renting a property in an unfamiliar area meant we had to provide them with lots of advice about the area, whilst purchasing the property when they were more familiar with the area, involved a complicated transaction to enable the house to be adapted for their special requirements. However, it was well worth the effort to see the family settle into the new area and new home”.Ready to Talk?
