My partner and I have recently purchased a property in Lincolnshire. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we suspect were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been carried out for conveyancing in Lincolnshire?
The question is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Lincolnshire. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller completes a form called a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers proves to be incorrect, then you may have a claim against the vendor 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 Lincolnshire.
Do I need to visit the offices of the solicitor to execute the legal charge? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Lincolnshire so that I can attend their offices if necessary.
Most approved lawyers for mortgage companies carry out all of the work via the post, e-mail or over phone calls. This means that they can undertake the conveyancing transaction regardless of where you live in the country. However you can see if you have the option of attending the offices of your conveyancing lawyer if just in case this is required.
I am aiming to move property in February. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Lincolnshire. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen prior to coming across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from your property agent however this can only be done when the previous owners conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. Subsequently you will need to tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Lincolnshire or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Lincolnshire.
I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Lincolnshire. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £150. A few days later, the lawyer called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Leeds Building Society panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Our sealed bid on a property in Lincolnshire has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have put an offer on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Lincolnshire. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Lincolnshire conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is check that your solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many home buyers would apply for a home loan with Clydesdale and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their solicitor to move forward with searches.
three months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Lincolnshire completed. I have checked the Land Registry site 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.
I am selling my property. My past conveyancers have shut. I would be grateful for any recommendation of a conveyancing firm. Im based in Lincolnshire if that makes a difference.

Expecting to exchange soon on a ground floor flat in Lincolnshire. Conveyancing solicitors assured me that they report fully on Monday. What should I be looking out for?
Your report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Lincolnshire should include some of the following:
-
Your solicitors should enable you to have an understanding of the insurance provisions Additions to the flat specifics of the parties to the lease, for example these could be the tennant, superior lessor, landlord Whether your lease caters for for a slush account for major works? Does the lease prevent you from subletting the flat, or working from home
I am the registered owner of a ground floor flat in Lincolnshire, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable properties in Lincolnshire with a long lease are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2094
With only 69 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £9,500 and £11,000 plus costs.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
