What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Thrapston
There are two types of lawyers who can execute conveyancing in Thrapston namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors. Both professionals handle conveyancing services that required to complete the disposal or purchase of property. They are both duty bound to conduct Thrapston conveyancing on similar standards and guidelines so you can be sure that your conveyancing will be professionally conducted and that the requisite procedures should be appropriately followed.
I am the sole recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Thrapston. The Thrapston property was put into my name in April. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in April. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this obligation is primarily there to capture subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
We previously instructed solicitors located in Thrapston on the Barclays solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional sum for handling the Barclays mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Barclays?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer can levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Barclays but by your Thrapston conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Barclays panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
My wife and I are downsizing from our home in Thrapston and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Thrapston. We have lived in Thrapston for many years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Thrapston. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Thrapston
-
The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
I've recently bought a leasehold property in Thrapston. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee 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 be sure 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).
I invested in buying a leasehold flat in Thrapston, conveyancing having been completed in 2006. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Similar properties in Thrapston with a long lease are worth £201,000. The ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2088
You have 64 years left to run the likely cost is going to be between £14,300 and £16,400 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
