As I am unsure how the conveyancing process works what is the most important advice you can impart regarding purchase conveyancing in Bidford On Avon?
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Bidford On Avon or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the home moving process. For example, the seller, estate agent and even potentially your bank. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Bidford On Avon is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose responsibility is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will try and sway you that you should follow their advice. For example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do take action that is contrary to your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
My partner and I are intent on selling our property in Bidford On Avon and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Bidford On Avon. We have lived in Bidford On Avon for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You should 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 illness)
4 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Bidford On Avon 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 premises 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 Bidford On Avon differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Bidford On Avon approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because developers in Bidford On Avon usually buy 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 Bidford On Avon or who has acted in the same development.
