• Conveyancer Failed To Transfer Title For Allocated Parking Space With My Property

    By Guest on 22nd Oct 2019

    It was recently identified by my current solicitor processing the sale of my flat (and allocated parking space) that the original conveyancer who processed my purchase six years ago of that property, failed to register the transfer of the parking space with the property. So on the land registry it shows that the parking space is still registered under the name of the deceased previous owner of the property. I'm trying to sell my property but the sale fell through as the buyer pulled out at the exchange stage. What can I do and how to put this right? Is the original conveyancer responsible and liable for my losses incurred because the recent buyer pulled out buying my property due to the parking space being registered under the previous owner's name?

    It may depend whether he was made aware that there was a parking space to be transferred. I would advise in the first instance approaching him with a request that he assist you pro bono (for free) to correct the issue. If not, consult a litigation solicitor to see if you have a case against the conveyancer. The executor of the estate will presumably have no interest in the parking space so hopefully they will be cooperative in transferring that over to you. Unless it is leasehold or has restrictions over it then in most cases they just need to execute a form TR1 to transfer it (which your conveyancer would then register at HM Land Registry)

    What would be the situation if the flat is leasehold? How would it be different?
