Due to complete my purchase in Addiscombe next Thursday. My property lawyer now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the mortgage company. What does the insurance need to cover?
Any lawyer on acting for banks would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s Part 2 instructions. These requirements are not specific to conveyancing in Addiscombe.
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Addiscombe. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Addiscombe?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
Does a directory service exist listing Bank of Ireland panel conveyancers in Addiscombe on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
No. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association sites. Very few banks make their panel listings viewable on the web. If you are looking for a Addiscombe conveyancer on the Bank of Ireland please make the most of our tool.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Addiscombe. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home are lost. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Addiscombe 5 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?
Gone are the days when you need to hold title original deeds to evidence that you own the land or premises, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Addiscombe. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Addiscombe
-
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. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Addiscombe before appointing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor advised that some lenders may refuse to issue a loan on such a home.
It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can investigate further with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Addiscombe. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
We expect to complete our sale of a £350,000 maisonette in Addiscombe next week. The freeholder has quoted £360 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and previous years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Addiscombe?
Addiscombe conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes often involves the purchaser’s conveyancer sending questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to address these enquiries most will be content to assist. They are entitled to levy a reasonable administration fee for answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some transactions it is in excess of £800. The administration charge demanded by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of rights and obligations in relation to administration fees, without which the charge is not strictly payable. In reality you have little option but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to complete the sale of your home.
I have had difficulty in trying to purchase the freehold in Addiscombe. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
Absolutely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Addiscombe conveyancing firm who can help.
