What information do sellers have to give buyers during Conveyancing in Altrincham

Completing  the property information form is one of the first tasks to be done by sellers during Conveyancing in Altrincham.

The form contains a wide variety of questions about the property being sold, and will be sent to the seller by their Conveyancing Solicitor, either as in print form in the post, or as an email attachment.

Many Conveyancers undertaking Conveyancing in Altrincham use a form which has been published by the Law Society (TA6), but others use their own version which will include additional enquiries. Sellers are asked to give replies to the questions and these will be sent on to buyers' Property Lawyers so that they will be seen by the purchasers.

Conveyancing Solicitor Sarah McGregor recently handled the sale Conveyancing in Altrincham for Mr and Mrs P. The property was a freehold semi on Threshfield Drive, Timperley, Altrincham WA15 6XP.

When her clients received the forms for completion they asked Sarah about the extent of the information which they were supposed to give when replying. For instance, one question asks whether owners are aware of any proposals for development or alteration of nearby land or buildings, and hence the clients wanted to know whether they had to go and ask the neighbours about any plans which they had.

Replies should be accurate, but sellers do not need to make any surveys

The printed form contains a warning that replies should be accurate, but also state that the information should be based on information known to the owner. Vendors are not expected to have expert legal or technical knowledge, or to carry out any survey or inspection of the property or its fittings, or to make any additional enquiries.

Therefore Sarah was able to advise them that they did not have to ask the neighbours about any plans. However, if they had already received any information about proposals then they should mention them when answering.

Sarah received details of the sale price and the buyers' names from the branch of Roger Dean at 3 Charles Court, Thorley Lane, Timperley, Altrincham, WA15 7B. She was then able to complete the draft contract and send it with the completed information questionnaire to Nicholls Locke and Co., 367 Stockport Road Timperley Altrincham Cheshire WA15 7UR, the Conveyancing Solicitors carrying out the Conveyancing in Altrincham for the buyers.

The clients were satisfied with the information given, and the sale was soon completed without any further complications.
