hi
we are due to sign contracts today to buy 2nd hand house. Vendor is not registered owner of house - there is a folio with a transfer showing and the vendor application in place. The vendors solicitor has given an undertaking to ensure that registration is completed timely
Our solicitor says this is quite normal
I would just like your views on this as we are new to this. Say if in 6 months time the Land Registry decide the vendor is not wntitled to sell the property - where does that leave us. Can we then go back to the vendors solicitors undertaking in this case??
I dont have any reason to suspect anything amiss here but would like your views re this - is this pretty norm for the course
