I am planning to move house in May. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Whitton. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from the selling agent however this should only be done once the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you should advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Whitton or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Whitton.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with HSBC. Whitton conveyancing lawyers were appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from HSBC?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have HSBC conducted the survey? Have you advised HSBC as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the HSBC conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Coventry BS. Is it usual for Coventry BS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Whitton is approved on their conveyancing panel? Coventry BS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Coventry BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I am downsizing from our home in Whitton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Whitton. Having lived in Whitton for many years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)
About to purchase a new build apartment in Whitton. Conveyancing is daunting 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 legal work.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Whitton
-
The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Whitton I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Whitton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
I am four weeks into a leasehold purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the estate agent to do our conveyancing in Whitton. We are not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?
A solicitor would need to be very poor to suggest diss instructing them. Has your mortgage offer been sent? In the event that it has you must inform them of the new contact details and ensure the mortgage documents are re-sent. Your new solicitor ideally should be on the mortgage company panel to avoid supplemental expenses and delays. That should be your first question of the new lawyers.

After years of negotiations we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Whitton. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
in cases where there is a absentee landlord or if there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to determine the sum to be paid.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Whitton premises is Ground Floor Flat 91 Bath Road in May 2009. in a case where the freeholder could not be traced, the Brentford County Court ordered that the Lease be surrendered in return for the grant of a new lease of the Premises at a premium determined by the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal. The tribunal concluded that the price payable by the Applicant for the new lease of the premises be £15,900 This case was in relation to 1 flat. The unexpired lease term was 60.45 years.
When it comes to leasehold conveyancing in Whitton what are the most frequent lease problems?
Leasehold conveyancing in Whitton is not unique. Most leases are individual and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain provisions are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party. A duty to insure the building
A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Halifax, Virgin Money, and TSB all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the buyer to pull out.
