Is it normal to sign land registry owner transfer papers for a house sale before the sale is confirmed ?

December 16th, 2009
Martin asked:


A relative has signed papers for land registry transfer to a prospective purchaser and sent them back to the solicitors without an agreement or confirmation of a sale. I am concerned that this might pose a risk over property rights at some point. Am I correct or worrying for no reason ?
Thanks for your answers, by the way - this applies to the United Kingdom.

Does anyone have legal advice about a house sale and inspection issues?

February 16th, 2009
Ellen asked:


Upon sale of my house, we agreed to have flashing fixed on the roof because of an inspection flaw. We had it fixed by a neighbor who’s a roofer, and submiited the receipt of work that was done to the realtor. Now a year after the sale, they contacted their lawyer with threats to sue us for $6000 because they are not happy with the work done. We had did what was asked us, hired a competent roofer and and had no idea “they weren’t happy”. Are we still liable?
They forwarded us a long list of repairs, way beyond anything presented to us before the sale of the house. We can’t afford to hire a lawyer, let alone pay $6000. Thank you so much for your help.
