My brother and I have recently acquired a property in Woodstock. We have noticed several problems with the property which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Woodstock?

The query is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Woodstock. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller answers a questionnaire known as a SPIF. If the information provided is inaccurate, you could possibly take legal action 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 Woodstock.

We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Woodstock for our house move. Our broker informed us that our bank Coventry Building Society won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?

Mortgage Companies normally restrict either the category or the number of conveyancing firms on their panel. A common example of such criteria being that a firm must not be a sole practitioner. In addition to restricting the type of firm, a few banks have reduced the number of solicitor practices they allow to act for them. You should note that Coventry Building Society have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Coventry Building Society Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there remains mixed opinions about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Figures from the Land Registry indicate that hundreds of law firms, including some in or near Woodstock only conduct one or two conveyances per annum.

It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Woodstock completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Woodstock with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about the side-deal as it may impact my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I am using a search engine for the phrase cheap conveyancing in Woodstock it shows results of many property lawyersin the vicinity. How do I determine which is the right solicitor for the sale of my house?

The best method of finding a suitable conveyancer is through a trusted referral, so seek the opinion of colleagues and family who have bought a property in Woodstock or a reputable estate agent or financial adviser. Fees for conveyancing in Woodstock differ, so it's sensible to obtain at least four costs illustrations from different conveyancers. Dont forget to clarify that the fees are fixed.
