I am downsizing from our home in Stone and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Stone lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using an internet conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Stone. We have lived in Stone for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. 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 completed on my apartment on 9 July and my personal details is yet to be registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Stone expressed confidence that it would be dealt with in less than a month. Are titles in Stone particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Stone is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration is effected after the new owner is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not always top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Stone differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Stone come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Stone tend to buy the real estate, 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 Stone or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Stone is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Stone are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Stone you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Stone may determine 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 premises.
