The Stocksfield conveyancing firm handling our Stocksfield conveyancing has uncovered a difference between the assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the conveyancing documents. My solicitor informs me that he needs to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s approach correct?
Your conveyancing practitioner 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.
Should our lawyer be raising enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Stocksfield.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers specialising in conveyancing in Stocksfield. Some people will acquire a property in Stocksfield, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Lawyers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be carried out by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which should figure out the risks in Stocksfield. The standard property information forms given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard question of the vendor to determine if the property has historically flooded. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past which is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser could bring a claim for damages as a result of such an misleading answer. The buyer’s conveyancers may also commission an enviro search. This will reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations should be initiated.
four months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Stocksfield concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 residence 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.
