My fiance’s sister is a conveyancer. I suspect that I can be offered friends and family pricing for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what kind of figure would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Higher Kinnerton?
Do contrast pricing. Make use of our comparison tool on this site. The prices do contrast greatly but service levels do differ between law firms as is true with the vast majority of professional services.
I have been recommended a conveyancing solicitor in Higher Kinnerton. I I would like to check whether they are on the Skipton Building Society approved list of lawyers. Could you advise?
The first thing to do is call the solicitor and ask them whether they can act for the bank. Otherwise you can get in touch with Skipton Building Society who may be able to confirm.
My partner and I are selling our property in Higher Kinnerton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Higher Kinnerton. We have lived in Higher Kinnerton for six years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
3 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Higher Kinnerton completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 asset 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Higher Kinnerton is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Higher Kinnerton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Higher Kinnerton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Higher Kinnerton 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 premises.
My folks are encountering problems in finding their Higher Kinnerton property on the HM Land Registry website. They have a vague memory back in the 70’s when they bought the bungalow there were complications concerning Higher Kinnerton not being identified on some systems.
Almost all premises in Higher Kinnerton should be revealed. Have you limited your search to just the postcode. Ordinarily it should disclose all the premises inside that postcode. Assuming the property is recorded it will show up with a title number. If they bought back in the 70’s it's conceivable it may be unrecorded. The property could still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to locate the original title papers which could be with your parent’s mortgage company.
