The Didsbury conveyancing firm handling our Didsbury conveyancing has discovered a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is in the title deeds. My solicitor says that he is obliged to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s stance legitimate?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements 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.
I am selling our home in Didsbury and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Didsbury conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Didsbury. We have lived in Didsbury for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? 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 since my purchase conveyancing in Didsbury completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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 property 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.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Didsbury I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Didsbury in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
Taking into account that I am about to part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on a garden flat in Didsbury I would like to talk to a solicitor regarding thehouse move in advance of giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?
This is something that we recommend - we would be pleased to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the conveyancer who will be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Didsbury.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique individual, not a matter number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for residential conveyancing in Didsbury should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
Finally, a loan agreement from a mortgage company for the refinancing of my 2 bedroom apartment is expected within the next few days. Can you recommend a cheap remortgage conveyancing lawyer in Didsbury ?
