After shopping around on the internet I have found a Marske and Upleatham conveyancer having made sure that they are on the Principality conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Principality will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Principality will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Marske and Upleatham surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor.

Should our solicitor be raising enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Marske and Upleatham.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers specialising in conveyancing in Marske and Upleatham. There are those who buy a house in Marske and Upleatham, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be initiated by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which will give them a better understanding of the risks in Marske and Upleatham. The standard property information forms given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual inquiry of the vendor to determine if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser could commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate answer. The buyer’s solicitors may also order an environmental search. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be conducted.

It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Marske and Upleatham completed. I have checked the Land Registry site 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.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in Marske and Upleatham I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Marske and Upleatham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

The conveyancers undertaking our conveyancing in Marske and Upleatham has sent papers to review that reveal that the land is unregistered with epitome documents. How can it be that the property not yet recorded at HM Land Regsitry?

Whilst most properties in Marske and Upleatham are now registered with HMLR there are still a few that remain unregistered. Any property in Marske and Upleatham that has been purchased since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HMLR under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Marske and Upleatham property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Marske and Upleatham conveyancing solicitors should be familiar with such matters but where uncertainty exists the prevailing recommendation presently is for the vendor’s solicitor to undertake the registration formalities first and thereafter deal with the transfer to the buyer - this can though naturally result in a significant delay.
