Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Old Woking

My wife and I have just bought a property in Old Woking. We have noticed several issues with the property which we believe were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Old Woking?

It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are relate to conveyancing in Old Woking. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller completes a form known as a SPIF. answers is incorrect, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the owner 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 Old Woking.

Completed the sale of my flat in Old Woking last May but the buyer keeps texting daily to moan that her lawyer needs to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done following completion?

Me and my brother own a renovated Victorian property in Old Woking. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Old Woking and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.

How does conveyancing in Old Woking differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Old Woking come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because builders in Old Woking usually acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Old Woking or who has acted in the same development.

There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved.
