Last August we completed a house move in Linton. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we consider were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been carried out for conveyancing in Linton?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Linton. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner fills in a document referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers turns out to be inaccurate, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the vendor 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 Linton.
We are buying a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Linton who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Virgin Money . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Linton.
3 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Linton took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 residence 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 property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Linton is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Linton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Linton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Linton 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.
I am 3 weeks into a residential purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the estate agent to perform conveyancing in Linton. I am am starting to be frustrated with the level of service. Could you help me find new solicitors?
They would need to be very poor in order to consider replacing them. Has the mortgage been issued? In the event that it has you need to make them aware of the new contact details and ensure the offer are re-sent. Your conveyancer needs to be on the lenders approved list to avoid escalating expenses and complications. That should be your starting point. Our search tool should help you find a bank approved conveyancer for your home move in Linton
Do lenders provide you with an approved list of Linton solicitors? How do you know who is on the bank conveyancing panel?
Linton firms and firms carrying out conveyancing in Linton themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the lender conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from the bank directly.
