Introduction
Clients often make wrong assumptions and think everything is risk free.
Conveyancers assume they have covered it in their reports, but the message doesn’t get through. The result is complaints and claims.
This webinar will consider 5 common popular myths in conveyancing and how you can clear these assumptions up with your clients.
What You Will Learn
This webinar will cover the following:
- Boundaries:
- The land registry red line doesn’t show your legal boundary (and why you shouldn't throw away old pre-registration documents if you find you have them)
- How to deal with the uncertainty built into the Land Registration system
- Squatters rights? - not any more! The new regime post 2002
- Highways boundaries and road adoption on new estates - they may never be adopted
- What title insurance doesn’t do, and what the client needs to realise
- Often overlooked duties as an 'Ancillary Insurance Intermediary' under the Insurance Distribution Directive
- Environmental issues
- Badly contaminated land that gets a 'pass' on a search
- Seeing beyond this and understanding the real issues that need to be considered
- Climate Change - what The Law Society considers you should be telling clients
- Stamp Duty Land Tax - it’s not just like the old Stamp Duty - many SDLT returns are wrong. Where are we now with MDR and SDLT reclaim agents?
