Completed the sale of my flat in Dosthill last January but our buyer keeps texting every few hours to moan that his conveyancer needs to hear from myconveyancer. What are the post completion sale legalities following completion?
After completion of your disposal your solicitor should deliver the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Where appropriate, your conveyancer should also evidence that the home loan has been paid off to the buyers lawyers. There are no post completion procedures unique to conveyancing in Dosthill.
My wife and I are downsizing from our house in Dosthill and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Dosthill lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Dosthill. We have lived in Dosthill for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I own a semi-detached Georgian house in Dosthill. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Dosthill and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.
How does conveyancing in Dosthill differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Dosthill approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Dosthill usually acquire the site, 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 property lawyers 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 Dosthill or who has acted in the same development.
