I just bought a flat at auction in Plymouth. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?
Having to in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you should retain a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you will have a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the deal. An auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding auction pack. This will include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the legal papers should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork specific to leasehold premises. You should pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that you have funds in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
We were going to get a AIP from Kent Reliance this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Kent Reliance recommend any Plymouth solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Plymouth solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Kent Reliance through the process.
I have finally had an offer on a flat in Plymouth accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on somewhere, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Plymouth. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Lloyds?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Plymouth conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your solicitor is on the Lloyds approved list. Concerning the next phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market the majority of purchasers would apply for a home loan with Lloyds and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their solicitor to move forward with searches.
I need some fast conveyancing in Plymouth as I am faced with pressure to sign on the dotted line inside one month. A mortgage is not required. Is it possible to escape the need for conveyancing searches to save money and time?
As you are not getting a home loan you are at free not to have searches carried out although no conveyancer would suggest that you don't. Drawing on our experience of conveyancing in Plymouth the following are instances of what can arise and adversely impact future mortgageability: Enforcement Notices, Overdue Charges, Overdue Grants, Railway Schemes,...
Just acquired a semi-detached house in Plymouth , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Plymouth conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my ownership is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Plymouth is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently in the region of three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not usually top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
