My Kempston conveyancer has identified a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My solicitor has advised that he must ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s stance legitimate?
Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications 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 you.
I understand that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I need this when buying a residence in Kempston? or I am told that there is historic law that could mean that homeowners residing in a parish church boundary will be compelled to contribute towards repairs towards the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this applicable for conveyancing in Kempston?
Unless a prior purchase of the property completed after 12 October 2013 you can expect conveyancing practitioners delivering conveyancing in Kempston to continue to advocate a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Kempston concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Kempston is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Kempston are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Kempston you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kempston 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.
