My partner and I are selling our house in Forest Row and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Forest Row conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Forest Row. We have lived in Forest Row for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)
It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Forest Row took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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 asset 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.
How does conveyancing in Forest Row differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Forest Row contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Forest Row typically 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 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 Forest Row or who has acted in the same development.
