4 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Alresford took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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've recently found out 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. Alresford is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Alresford are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Alresford you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Alresford 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 property.
I have been pointed in your direction by a number of estate agents in Alresford to select a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to market your services over alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to give any financial incentive for directing people our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
In my capacity as executor for the estate of my father I am selling a property in Swansea but I am based in Alresford. My lawyer (approximately 300 kilometers from mehas requested that I sign a statutory declaration prior to completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Alresford to attest and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you should not need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or qualified solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Alresford based
Why is it not possible to complete our conveyancing in Alresford on Easter Monday?
Because on completion the sale price will pass between the banks of the purchaser and seller's lawyer and currently this can only occur on a business day. So you can't complete on a weekend either.
