I have been told that property searches are a common reason for obstruction in Radford conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the common causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Radford.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Radford is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Radford are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Radford you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Radford 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 premises.
I am looking into buying my first house which is in Radford and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Radford. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Radford area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?
Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Radford. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found
We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent told us that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct the agent's preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer used to conveyancing in Radford
It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred Radford conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
Last April I purchased a leasehold property in Radford. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
