Me and my fiancee are buying our first house. The lawyer has messagedto check if we would like to order supplemental conveyancing searches. We are really unsure what's recommended for conveyancing in Sittingbourne
The range of Sittingbourne conveyancing searches should be triggered based entirely on the premises, the location, the probability of any of these risks, your familiarity of the locality and risks, your overall attitude to risk. What matters is that you properly comprehend what information the searches could supply. You may then decide if you consider that you need that search. Where you are in doubt, ask the property lawyer to advise.
It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Sittingbourne concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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 asset 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 Sittingbourne differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Sittingbourne contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Sittingbourne tend to purchase 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 conveyancers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Sittingbourne or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Sittingbourne is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Sittingbourne are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Sittingbourne 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 Sittingbourne may determine 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.
