My wife and I are about to complete buying a house in Ceredigion but as a consequence of damage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree compensation from the vendor of three thousand pounds by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but Kent Reliance are not allowing this. Should they have been notified?
Your solicitor that is on the Kent Reliance approved list is duty bound to disclose to Kent Reliance of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to disclose the reduction to Kent Reliance then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Kent Reliance and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Ceredigion.
It is a dozen years since I purchased my property in Ceredigion. Conveyancing solicitors have now been retained on the sale but I can't track down my title documents. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be kept by your lender or they could stored with the solicitor who acted in the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Ceredigion involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
