Our Malpas conveyancer has identified an inconsistency when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My solicitor has advised that he is obliged to ensure that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s stance correct?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions 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 both parties.
I am selling our home in Malpas and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Malpas. We have lived in Malpas for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should 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 sickness)
Just bought a detached house in Malpas , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Malpas conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my purchase is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Malpas registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. At present approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration takes place after the purchaser is living at the premises so post completion formalities is not usually an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Malpas I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Malpas suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

I am looking at a two flats in Malpas which have approximately forty five years remaining on the leases. Will this present a problem?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease shortens the value of the lease decreases and it becomes more expensive to extend the lease. This is why it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on such properties. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We advise that you get professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.
