Having sold my house in Hyde Park last February but our buyer keeps calling every few hours complaining that their conveyancer is waiting to hear from myconveyancer. What should have happened now that I have sold?
Following your disposal your lawyer is duty bound to send the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. If applicable, your solicitor must also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been paid off to the purchasers solicitors. There are no post completion tasks specific conveyancing in Hyde Park.
It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Hyde Park took place. I have checked the Land Registry website 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 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.
How does conveyancing in Hyde Park differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Hyde Park approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Hyde Park typically purchase the land, 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Hyde Park or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Hyde Park I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Hyde Park in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
