Our Highams Park lawyer has spotted an inconsistency when comparing the assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer has advised that he is duty bound to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action appropriate?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
We are planning on selling our house in Highams Park and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Highams Park conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Highams Park. Having lived in Highams Park for six years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I have todaybeen informed that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Highams Park for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to see if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Highams Park conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Highams Park differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Highams Park contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Highams Park tend to acquire the real estate, 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 Highams Park or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Highams Park is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Highams Park you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Highams Park 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 premises.
