As someone not used to conveyancing in Kimbolton what is your top tip you can give me for the ownership transfer in Kimbolton
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Kimbolton and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for friction between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the seller, estate agent and even potentially a mortgage company. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Kimbolton should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the transaction whose interest is to protect your best interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a potential adversary may attempt to convince you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the property agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your conveyancer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do something that is against your conveyancers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
Will my conveyancer be raising questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Kimbolton.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Kimbolton. There are those who acquire a property in Kimbolton, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that may be undertaken by the purchaser or by their lawyers which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Kimbolton. The standard property information forms given to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard question of the owner to determine whether the premises has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the owner, then a purchaser may issue a legal claim for losses stemming from an incorrect answer. A purchaser’s solicitors will also carry out an environmental search. This should disclose whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be initiated.
It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Kimbolton concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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.
