The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for conveyancers conducting conveyancing in Rawdon and Yeadon. There are those who acquire a property in Rawdon and Yeadon, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the premises.

three months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Rawdon and Yeadon completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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.

How does conveyancing in Rawdon and Yeadon differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Rawdon and Yeadon approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because new home sellers in Rawdon and Yeadon tend to purchase 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 property lawyers 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 Rawdon and Yeadon or who has acted in the same development.

I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Rawdon and Yeadon in advance of retaining lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor advised that some lenders will refuse to grant a loan on such a house.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Rawdon and Yeadon.
