My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Kingston Vale and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Kingston Vale lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Kingston Vale. Having lived in Kingston Vale for three years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer 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)
three months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Kingston Vale took place. 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 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 Kingston Vale differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Kingston Vale come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Kingston Vale usually 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 Kingston Vale or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Kingston Vale is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Kingston Vale are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Kingston Vale you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kingston Vale may decide 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 property.
