The Broxbourne conveyancing firm handling our Broxbourne conveyancing has identified a discrepancy between the information in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My solicitor says that he is obliged to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s stance legitimate?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Broxbourne. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to find my title documents. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by your mortgage company or they may still be with the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Broxbourne relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.
My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Broxbourne and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Broxbourne lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a web based conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Broxbourne. Having lived in Broxbourne for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You must enquire of 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)
Just acquired a semi-detached house in Broxbourne , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Broxbourne conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure that my ownership is recorded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Broxbourne registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any other persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of submission are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the estate agent informed us that the owners will only proceed if we use the agent's recommended conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Broxbourne
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to use your preferred Broxbourne conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by senior management.
