Last September we completed a house move in Radford. We have noticed several issues with the property which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been ordered for conveyancing in Radford?
The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Radford. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller answers a form known as a SPIF. If the information provided is incorrect, then you may have a claim against the owner 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 Radford.
I am planning to move property in January. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Radford. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from the selling agent but this should only take place once the vendors solicitors confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. You will need to advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Radford or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Radford.
My husband and I have arranged a further advance on our home loan from Skipton as we want to carry out renovations to our property in Radford. Do we need to choose a nearby Radford solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Skipton don't usually instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Skipton panel.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Principality. I assume I don't need a Radford property lawyer on the Principality panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Principality mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Principality mortgage from the register. Principality, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Principality has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Principality has instructed the Land Registry to do so
five months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Radford 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.
I am looking to sell my home. My former lawyers has retired. I would be grateful for any recommendation of a conveyancing firm. Im based in Radford if that makes things easier.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent told us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we instruct their preferred solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Radford
It is highly unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your own,trusted Radford conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will give the estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures set by corporate headquarters.
Back In 2005, I bought a leasehold house in Radford. Conveyancing and Nottingham Building Society mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing practitioner in Radford who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Radford conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
I inherited a basement flat in Radford, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2010. How much will my lease extension cost? Similar flats in Radford with over 90 years remaining are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 per annum. The lease expires on 21st October 2083
With just 58 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £22,800 and £26,400 plus costs.
The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
