Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home are lost. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in Aston on Trent 5 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will know exactly where to look for all the appropriate documentation so you may purchase or sell your house without a hitch. Where copies can’t be found, your conveyancer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against future claims on the property.
How does conveyancing in Aston on Trent differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Aston on Trent come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Aston on Trent typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Aston on Trent or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Aston on Trent is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Aston on Trent are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Aston on Trent you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Aston on Trent may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
In my capacity as executor for the will of my father I am selling a property in Monmouth but live in Aston on Trent. My conveyancer (based 235 kilometers awayhas requested that I execute a stat dec prior to the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Aston on Trent who can witness and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are based in Aston on Trent
Back In 2002, I bought a leasehold house in Aston on Trent. Conveyancing and Coventry Building Society mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing solicitor in Aston on Trent who previously acted has long since retired. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to be sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. There is no need to incur the fees of a Aston on Trent conveyancing practitioner to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I purchased a split level flat in Aston on Trent, conveyancing formalities finalised July 2000. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Aston on Trent with a long lease are worth £197,000. The ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease finishes on 21st October 2079
With only 55 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £31,400 and £36,200 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
