I am soon to exchange buying a house in Bramley but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the current proprietors of £3k in the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract but Nottingham are not allowing this. Should they have been involved?
Your conveyancing practitioner that is on a Nottingham approved list is duty bound to advise Nottingham of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to report the reduction to Nottingham then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Nottingham and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Bramley.
It is 10 years ago since I acquired my property in Bramley. Conveyancing solicitors have just been instructed on the sale but I can't locate the deeds. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Bramley involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Bramley. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
