Completed the sale of my flat in Erith last spec month but our buyer keeps Skype messaging daily to say her solicitor is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?
Following your house sale your lawyer is obliged to deliver the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. If applicable, your solicitor should also evidence that the mortgage has been paid off to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion tasks just for conveyancing in Erith.
Do I have to have a meeting at the offices of the solicitor to execute the legal charge? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Erith so that I can pop in to their offices when needed.
Whereas this was necessary 12 years ago, most lenders no longer need their conveyancing panel lawyer to witness the mortgagors signature. It will still be necessary for you to provide identification documents and there are still distinct advantages to choosing a local ayer, in your situation a conveyancing solicitor in Erith.
Last month we completed a house move in Erith. We have noticed several issues with the property which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been conducted for conveyancing in Erith?
The question is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Erith. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken during the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner fills in a questionnaire called a SPIF. answers ends up being misleading, then you may have a claim against the vendor for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor.However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Erith.
