Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Basildon

We are about to complete buying a property in Basildon but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the owner of £2k by way of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but Barclays will not agree to this. Should they have been involved?

Any conveyancing practitioner being on the Barclays conveyancing panel is duty bound to inform Barclays of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to disclose the price change to Barclays then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Barclays and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Basildon.

Should my lawyer be raising enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Basildon.

Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Basildon. There are those who purchase a property in Basildon, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Solicitors are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that may be undertaken by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can figure out the risks in Basildon. The standard completed inquiry forms given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) incorporates a usual inquiry of the vendor to determine whether the property has historically flooded. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past and is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser may commence a compensation claim resulting from an incorrect answer. A purchaser’s lawyers will also order an environmental search. This will disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be conducted.

I have recentlyfound out that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Basildon for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest method to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Basildon conveyancing specialists.

I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Basildon before instructing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor advised that some banks will not give a mortgage on such a property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different instructions from Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can check with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Basildon.
