I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and must vacate my rented property in Brough by 21/5/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. Can I complete in a couple of weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?
It is unwise to provide notice on a rental unless you have exchanged. If you have not already done so, contact to your lawyer and urge them to they cajole the sellers lawyers, try to an agreed time frame that all parties will aim to achieve
We are planning on selling our house in Brough and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Brough lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Brough. Having lived in Brough for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
four months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Brough concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Brough differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Brough approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Brough usually purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Brough or who has acted in the same development.
