Breach of Contract

Do I have to provide a refund to a customer that has had a winding up order? LocalSolicitors.com

I have been requested to repay money back to a customer who has had a winding up order applied, have I legally got to repay this money?

There is no specific form of notice to the court, a letter should suffice but it is not entirely clear what it is that you are trying to do. If it is the case that you want to oppose the application by the company to be struck off then your better option may be to oppose the application.

The objection must be in writing and sent to the Registrar at Companies House with any supporting evidence that you may have. One of the objections that the Registrar will take into account is where the company is the subject of current court proceedings.

Please note that if you do go down this route you have a time limit to do so. An objection can only be considered by the Registrar once notification has been published in the London Gazette showing the Registrar's intention to strike the company off the register after two months.

If you require any further assistance with this issue please contact our Chester office on 01244 312166.

These are the different types property searches that will normally be carried out on your behalf if you are buying a property but as you are leasing you can do without some of them.It depends on whether you are taking a whole property or just a floor or part of a property already let.For example if there are already tenants in a shared office building then you may feel comfortable with its usage and not take any searches.It can also depend on how long the lease is for as your exposure to rent might be minimal if the lease is for a short period. You need to make sure the agreed planning use for the property is correct and this is found out by the local search but you might be able to discover this yourself just by contacting the local planning authority. My local planning authority has an online portal where you can search for copies of planning consents.

As to £1800 - it sounds a bit expensive and I could do it for £1200. email me at gideon@bookersandbolton.co.uk [gideon@bookersandbolton.co.uk] or call 0142082881 if you are interested. Best wishes Gideon Cristofoli

•Local authority search – Information from the local council, for example if the property is affected by a planning enforcement notice. A local search is for the property being searched only – it won’t include information about nearby properties. The local authority search is made up of two documents, the LLC1 form – a certificate of search form, and the CON29 document, which is enquiries about the property.

 •Drainage and water search – This search will find out if the property has mains water and drainage, as well as information about the position of the pipes. It will also provide details about how the property is billed for the water supply and waste disposal.

 •Environmental search – This will determine if the property is affected by contamination which could result in costly removal

 •Land registry search – Make sure the seller still owns the property

 •Flood risk report – If the property is at risk from flooding

 •Planning search – Find out if there are any plans in place, maybe the neighbours have planning permission for a big extension or there is an application in place for a new supermarket

 •Mining searches – This survey would only be needed if the property is in an area with coal deposits

Do I really need property searches to enter into a commercial rental agreement?
