Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Malden

I am soon to exchange buying a property in Malden but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the owner in the sum of £2k in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract however TSB are not allowing this. Why were they notified?

Any conveyancer that is on the TSB approved list is required to advise TSB of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancer to report the price change to TSB then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, TSB and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Malden.

Should conveyancers request money up-front when it comes to conveyancing in Malden?

If you are buying a property in Malden your solicitor will request that you put them with monies to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. If any down payment is payable against the purchase price then this should be asked for shortly ahead of exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is due should be sent to your lawyer a few days prior to the day of completion.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the UBS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Malden?

First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

Should my conveyancer be asking questions about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Malden.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers dealing with homes in Malden. Some people will buy a house in Malden, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous checks that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should figure out the risks in Malden. The standard completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual inquiry of the seller to discover if the property has suffered from flooding. If the premises has been flooded in past which is not notified by the vendor, then a purchaser could issue a compensation claim stemming from an incorrect response. A purchaser’s conveyancers will also carry out an enviro report. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations will need to be carried out.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Malden?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Malden. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Malden ahead of appointing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor advised that some lenders will not issue a loan on such a house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can check with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Malden. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Malden to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
