I'll start a new post as my other relating to this has moved on.... we are in the process of buying a house, relatively straight forward as my buyer has a cash buyer and we are buying an empty house . All really easy in conveyance terms ...wrong .. The house I'm buying is unregistered but right at the start the deeds were available (I know the pitfalls of no deeds)
The vendor has 2 Powers of attorney who are acting on her behalf and the solicitor wanted to register the property before issuing a contract.. unfortunately the solicitor in error excluded the rear garden and the PA's agreed she was right so off it went to LR . a few days later the title came back and straight away it was missing the back garden (It was the reason we put an offer on the house)
It took a couple of weeks for the PA's to accept they'd made a mistake, as I pointed out to them that they had signed off the details with the estate agent and quite clear the garden was part of the property with boundary stone walls and fencing (albeit overgrown)
The 3 other surrounding properties titles are correct .
One major problem, my buyers had to exchange or lose their cash buyer and are due to complete next week , not something I would have done but they went ahead anyway . They kept in contact with me and I could only re assure them what I knew and we had already arranged for removals and my husbands heart monitor to be transferred (we are both moving out of our current district) so were pretty confident as statement of truth and a history of the property going back to early 1920's
The LR advised the vendors solicitor to do an amendment but after a week LR came back and said they now wanted an application for adverse possession ( all these applications are expedited as all parties are aware of the time scales)
LR are also aware of health implications and my buyers soon to be homeless situation and now this morning have advised they will be doing a site visit.
I suppose my question is how quick are ordinance surveyors quick to respond to site visits ,there is an OS map already done but this doesn't seem to be enough
