As a novice what is the most important number one tip you can give me regarding purchase conveyancing in Birchington?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Birchington or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for friction between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the seller, selling agent and even potentially your mortgage company. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Birchington should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the process whose interest is to look after your best interests and to protect you.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest may try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the estate agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is against your conveyancers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
Various internet forums that I have come across warn that are the main reason for delay in Birchington house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Birchington.
It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Birchington completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 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 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 have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Birchington is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Birchington are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Birchington you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Birchington may ascertain 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.
