Last June we completed a house move in Maltby. We have noticed several problems with the house which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Maltby?
The query is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Maltby. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller answers a form called a SPIF. answers turns out to be inaccurate, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the seller 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 Maltby.
My wife and I are purchasing a apartment in Maltby. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? On completion day we will need to put our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?

I am assisting my niece sell her house in Maltby. Will the solicitor arrange the energy assessment or it is for the seller to see to?
After the demise of Home Packs, energy assessments remained a mandatory component of selling a property. An energy performance certificate should be commissioned before the property is advertised. It is not a task that conveyancers ordinarily organise. Where you are instructing a Maltby conveyancing lawyer they may help arrange EPC’s given their relationships with reputable Maltby assessors
I have paid off my mortgage with Kent Reliance. I assume I don't need a Maltby property lawyer on the Kent Reliance panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Kent Reliance mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Kent Reliance mortgage from the register. Kent Reliance, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Kent Reliance has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Kent Reliance has instructed the Land Registry to do so
three months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Maltby completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 property 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.
About to purchase a new build flat in Maltby. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Maltby

There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one close by in Maltby I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Maltby suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
