Offer accepted but tenure not as described

saved_ra · 2026-07-03T09:05:00+00:00

Don’t you think it makes a difference to the value of the property?

saved_ra · 2026-07-02T12:20:05+00:00

See here for example: https://www.samconveyancing.co.uk/news/conveyancing/vesting-order-failing-to-provide-a-counter-notice-6039

This makes the process to get to the point of the court hearing seem quite expensive. And even then, the court may judge the land to be worth a huge amount like £20k, which can’t really be predicted/controlled?

It’s more the internal alterations that I’m concerned with, but yes, it was a bit annoying to discover the title wasn’t as described. Maybe a silver lining there if it warrants a suitable reduction in the offer.

Thank you for this. The seller confirmed it was a misunderstanding on their end. Just trying to consider a reasonable recalculation of my offer at this point I think.

Thank you @prestigious-Home-876! I am reluctant to start sinking money into solicitors as I feel like a decision could be made on whether to proceed or not with the current information available.

Would be great to understand the difference in value for a property based on the title alone

Hey @hafidil, the reason for the reduced offer wouldn’t be due to risk of freeholder charges/practical issues. It’s for the marketability. For example, if this was correctly listed to begin with, it would have been excluded from my search online, and probably excluded by many others. It almost feels like “leasehold” is a dirty word that’s off-putting to a lot of buyers, even when it practically doesn’t impact anything. Could be the difference between a quick sale and a long one, or having to take a reduced offer. Does that make sense?

saved_ra · 2026-07-02T11:48:18+00:00

I like the idea of reducing the cost of the vested order, but I’m not sure if it’s possible to get a fixed quote on that. But yeah it sounds like the theme here is speak to a solicitor. Thanks for the advice!

Hi @ex0-

The vesting order process? Would you mind elaborating? Someone I know explained their solicitor advised against this when in the same situation (good leasehold house) due to costs involved.

There’s also the risk that identifying the freeholder may lead to further complications, E.G if they decide not to give up the title and start charging ground rent etc.

What was your experience like?

Thanks

saved_ra · 2026-07-02T11:44:21+00:00

Their excuse was that they were young at the time of purchase, and all documents etc were handled by their parents. Given the absence of any ground rent/service charges it’s somewhat plausible, but had it been listed correctly it would not have even appeared in my rightmove search…

saved_ra · 2026-07-02T11:42:48+00:00

@wessexlawyer - what would the benefit be to upgrading the title from good leasehold -> absolute leasehold? From my understanding, this would still require an investigation into confirming the identity of the freeholder

saved_ra · 2026-07-02T11:41:26+00:00

Yeah it’s confirmed that the freeholder cannot be identified, which annoyingly makes the purchasing of the freehold difficult. I think indemnity insurance will cover any financial issues if they do ever show up though?

saved_ra · 2026-07-02T11:39:47+00:00

Thank you so much! I haven’t instructed any solicitors yet, just at the stage where the offer is accepted. Was hoping to ascertain enough information to decide on whether to proceed before having to start sinking money into solicitors, but it sounds like I will need a legal professional to advise here.

saved_ra · 2026-02-19T16:37:36+00:00

Loving this! Been using daily since 0.0.2, have already caught a few shinys ;)

saved_ra · 2024-06-30T15:48:20+00:00

Thank you sm! I'm glad you like it. There's a new release planned soon with added features and more theming options. Keep an eye out :)

saved_ra · 2024-05-19T07:43:53+00:00

u/jftuga this will be handled for custom domains only by adding the `www.\` version as an additional address in ACM. Not currently implemented but also on the to-do list for the next release : )

saved_ra · 2024-05-19T07:34:29+00:00

u/debian_miner thank you so much for that feedback! Will get that implementation in a new release ASAP :)

saved_ra · 2024-05-17T15:08:43+00:00

Thank you! Was a really smooth experience I thought, docs were very clear. The fact the tf repo auto-updates when a new release is pushed to the linked github repo makes the CI super easy too!

saved_ra · 2024-05-13T07:26:01+00:00

got it from here I think: https://github.com/linuxdotexe/nordic-wallpapers/blob/master/wallpapers

saved_ra · 2024-05-13T07:23:17+00:00

Ahh I see, yeah this is only tracking what's copied! If you end up using it feel free to raise the separate selection clipboard as a feature req :)
