After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Wilberfoss accepted, the owners do however have an associated purchase. The vendors have offered on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Wilberfoss. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with HSBC started?

It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Wilberfoss conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should ensure that your property lawyer is on the HSBC approved list. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many buyers will apply for a home loan with HSBC and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancer to proceed with the conveyancing in Wilberfoss.

It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Wilberfoss completed. I have checked the Land Registry site 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.

How does conveyancing in Wilberfoss differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Wilberfoss approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Wilberfoss typically buy 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Wilberfoss or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Wilberfoss is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?

Flying freeholds in Wilberfoss are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Wilberfoss you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wilberfoss may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
