Finally the sale completed on my house in Guisborough last May yet the purchaser is calling me to say her solicitor needs to hear from myconveyancer. What should have happened now that I have sold?
Following your disposal your lawyer is duty bound to send the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. Where appropriate, your conveyancer must also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been repaid to the purchasers lawyers. There are no post completion procedures specific conveyancing in Guisborough.
4 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Guisborough took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Guisborough is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Guisborough are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Guisborough you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Guisborough may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
Do I need to be wary that brokers that I am dealing with are recommending a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Guisborough conveyancing practice?
As with many professional services, often recommendations from family and friends can be very helpful. But there are numerous people with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all recommend conveyancers to instruct. On occasion these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there may be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are free to choose your preferred conveyancer. You need to be aware that most banks specify a panel list of conveyancers you must use for the lender related work in your house move.
