Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor fills in a questionnaire referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information ends up being incorrect, you could possibly take legal action 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 Hook Norton.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Skipton. Hook Norton conveyancing lawyers are selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Skipton?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Skipton done the survey? Have you advised Skipton as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Skipton conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Hook Norton completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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 premises 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.

My husband and I are buying a three bedroom apartmentin Hook Norton with a home loan from a mortgage company. We wish to instruct our lawyer in Hook Norton yet our bank inform us now that she’s not listed on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct from the our lender panel firms or stay with our Hook Norton solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The bank home loan offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the lender's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had open panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Hook Norton : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
