Last September we completed a house move in Ironbridge. We have noticed several issues with the house which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been carried out for conveyancing in Ironbridge?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Ironbridge. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller completes a form referred to as a SPIF. If the information turns out to be misleading, then you may have a claim against the seller for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Ironbridge.
As someone unfamiliar with the Ironbridge conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can impart concerning the legal transfer of property in Ironbridge
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Ironbridge or throughout Shropshire is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the seller, estate agent and sometimes your lender. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Ironbridge is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the process whose interest is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest may attempt to sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the estate agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your conveyancer is slow. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do something that is contrary to your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Ironbridge concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site 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 residence 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.
How does conveyancing in Ironbridge differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Ironbridge come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in Ironbridge typically acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Ironbridge or who has acted in the same development.
