Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wolviston

My wife and I have lately purchased a house in Wolviston. We have noticed several issues with the property which we suspect were overlooked in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the nature of searches that should have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Wolviston?

It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Wolviston. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor completes a form known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers provided is incorrect, then you may have a claim against the vendor 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 Wolviston.

It is a dozen years since I bought my house in Wolviston. Conveyancing lawyers have just been appointed on the sale but I am unable to track down my title documents. Is this a problem?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be retained by your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Wolviston relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.

I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Wolviston for our house move. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage lenders Aldermore won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?

My relative advised me that where I am buying in Wolviston I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

A search of this type is sometimes included in the estimate for your Wolviston conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of more than thirty pages, listing and detailing important information about Wolviston around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime details, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information regarding Wolviston.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Wolviston is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?

Flying freeholds in Wolviston are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Wolviston you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wolviston 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 residence.

We are about to exchange buying a house in Wolviston but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have agreed reparation from the seller of four thousand pounds in the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet the lender will not agree to this. Should they have been notified?

Your conveyancer being on the mortgage company approved list is required to disclose to the bank of any changes to the sale figure. If you were to refuse your conveyancer to report the reduction to your lender then they would have to disinstructing themselves from representing you and the lender.
