My brother and I have just acquired a property in Victoria Park. We have noticed several issues with the house which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Victoria Park?
The query is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Victoria Park. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller fills in a questionnaire called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information proves to be incorrect, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the seller 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 Victoria Park.
We see that you have a search directory listing solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I instruct them for our own conveyancing in Victoria Park?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Victoria Park.
My aunt pointed out to me me that in buying a property in Victoria Park there may be various restrictions affecting the ability to carry out external changes to a property. Is this right?
We are aware of anumerous of properties in Victoria Park which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to carry out external variations. Part of the conveyancing in Victoria Park should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
I am expecting a AIP from Principality this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Victoria Park solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Victoria Park solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Kent Reliance. Is it usual for Kent Reliance to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Victoria Park is approved on their conveyancing panel? Kent Reliance have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Kent Reliance to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Victoria Park concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site 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 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.
