I am soon to exchange buying a house in Tickton but as a consequence of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the seller in the sum of £2k in the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however Principality will not permit this. Should they have been informed?
Your lawyer being on the Principality approved list is required to advise Principality of any amendments to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the price change to Principality then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Principality and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Tickton.
Having sold my house in Tickton last April but my buyer keeps SMS messaging me to say her conveyancer is waiting to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Following your sale your lawyer is duty bound to forward the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. If applicable, your solicitor must also evidence that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been repaid to the buyers conveyancers. There are no post completion formalities just for conveyancing in Tickton.
Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a search tool with a view to to identify practices on the Earl Shilton BS conveyancing panel for example in Tickton?
We are not aware of any intention on the part of the BSA to promote such a register.
3 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Tickton took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Tickton ahead of appointing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor advised that some lenders may not issue a mortgage on a flying freehold property.
