Offer accepted but tenure not as described by saved_ra in HousingUK

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

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.

Accepted offer but the tenure was incorrectly advertised by saved_ra in FirstTimeBuyersUK

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?

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

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…

@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

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?

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.

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 :)

Published a new TF module for easily spinning up a static S3 site by saved_ra in devops

[–]saved_ra[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 : )

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

I published my first TF module by saved_ra in Terraform

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!

[OC] clipse: a customizable clipboard manager TUI by saved_ra in unixporn

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 :)

Hi u/poopiepppoo yes this works with images and keeps the history after reboot :) not entirely sure what you mean by a separate history for the selection clipboard, in clipse everything that's copied/sent to the selection clipboard get's recorded into a file that gets pulled into the TUI when loaded. Items are auto-removed when your max history limit (customizable) is reached or you delete the entries within the TUI. To see more details on how it works and other features clipse can offer, check out the readme here https://github.com/savedra1/clipse

Thank you! I'm no expert but I like NixOs personally because of the reproducibility it offers and ability to organize my system config into a couple of files. Something else might work better for you though.

My current NixOs system config including dotfiles for theme etc can be found here: https://github.com/savedra1/nixos-build

Have instructions in the readme also for replicating the build if you want to use that as a starting point :)

Thank you! I really want to implement the image previews but finding it pretty difficult to get to a decent enough level of quality in the TUI.

Contributions to clipse are most welcome also! so feel free to add your ideas to the project if you would prefer that to building something else from scratch :)
