My wife and I are about to exchange buying a house in Fairwater but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the seller of £3k in the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however Co-operative are not allowing this. Should they have been notified?
Your conveyancing practitioner being on a Co-operative conveyancing panel is obliged to inform Co-operative of any variations to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to report the reduction to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Co-operative and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Fairwater.
I completed on my apartment on 10 January and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Fairwater advises it will be formalised in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Fairwater uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Fairwater registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. As of today in the region of 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the new owner is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not always top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
