Having sold my house in Abergele last December yet the purchaser is texting daily to moan that their solicitor is waiting to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
After completion of your sale your lawyer is committed to send the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. Depending on the transaction, your solicitor should also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been discharged to the buyers lawyers. There are no post completion procedures just for conveyancing in Abergele.
I have paid off my mortgage with Co-operative. I assume I don't need a Abergele solicitor on the Co-operative panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Co-operative mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Co-operative mortgage from the register. Co-operative, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Co-operative has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Co-operative has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The mortgage over my property is with Kent Reliance for my property in Abergele. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Kent Reliance?
You must advise Kent Reliance prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Kent Reliance’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Kent Reliance directly. You need not do this via a Kent Reliance conveyancing panel lawyer.
Our sealed bid on a house in Abergele has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have put an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Abergele. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with TSB started?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Abergele conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to check that your lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of purchasers will apply for a home loan with TSB and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Abergele.
I have been told that property searches are the number one cause of stalling in Abergele house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Abergele.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Abergele I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Abergele suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business offices in Abergele and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to affords security of tenure to commercial leaseholders, granting the a statutory right to apply to court for a renewal tenancy and continue in occupation at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
