Irene Bonsu-Amoako headed our Conveyancing in Sunderland team on the purchase transaction for a Property located at Southside Gardens, Sunderland, Tyne and Wear, SR4 and valued at £189,950.

There are several problems that can arise after the contract has been signed, which is why it is important to instruct an expert Conveyancing Solicitor who is familiar with property transactions and will prevent issues from arising after your transaction is completed.

Some common problems that can arise for buyers (if not detected beforehand by a Solicitor) are:

  • Delays in obtaining a particular search in time for settlement.
  • A search result is unsatisfactory. What does it really mean? What does the contract say you can do, if anything? Can this be fixed? Can I get compensation? How much is all of this going to cost?
  • Special conditions of the contract have not been complied with.
  • The other party has not done everything they are obliged to do under the contract. What can you do about it? Should you settle the matter without getting the problem fixed? How much is all of this going to cost?
  • The sellers did not sign the transfer documents properly.
  • The bank, the other party, the council or local authority makes a mistake.
  • The address or the real property description of the Property is wrong.
  • The person who signs the contract does not own the land.
  • The person who signs the contract, although the registered owner is not entitled to sign the contract because he or she is bankrupt or their mortgagee is in possession of the property.

Getting wrapped up in the excitement of purchasing a new home can often get in the way of a home buyer’s attention to detail and these issues can be overlooked. Irene ensured that she dealt with these matters beforehand and the new owners have not had any problems since.

The seller’s Conveyancing Solicitor, the South Hylton branch covering Sunderland, also helped to facilitate a smooth transaction.

The estate agent was Peter Heron at 20 Fawcett Street, Sunderland, SR1 1RH.
