We have very assertive sellers who has recommended a lock out contract with a non-refundable deposit of 5k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
This kind of contract isn't frequently used in Norris Green, conveyancers will often encourage clients away from them as they detract from focusing on the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no certainty that just because the owner has executed a lock out agreement they will sell to you. They may be inclined to break the agreement if they receive a large enough incentive to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still have to establish consequential losses from the breach and these may not equate the extra amount that your vendor may obtain by reneging on the contract, no matter how morally condemnable the behaviour is.
four months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Norris Green concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 Norris Green differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Norris Green contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because builders in Norris Green usually acquire the land, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Norris Green or who has acted in the same development.
I have been advised by a number of selling agents in Norris Green to select a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to recommend your site over and above a competitor’s?
