We are selling our home in Didsbury and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Didsbury conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Didsbury. We have lived in Didsbury for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. 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 ailment)
I have recentlydiscovered that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Didsbury for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to see if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out 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 Didsbury conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Didsbury differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Didsbury contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because developers in Didsbury tend to acquire the site, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Didsbury or who has acted in the same development.
Am in the process of buying my 1st home in Didsbury. Conveyancing practitioner already instructed. The mortgage adviser advised that a survey is not appropriate as the house was only constructed in 2002.
At the very least you should order a Home Buyer's Report. Given the premises was constructed over a decade ago the property will be without a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may suffice. The report should highlight any obvious issues and recommend further investigation where relevant. If there are any indications of problems get a full structural survey.
