How does conveyancing in Billingham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Billingham come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Billingham typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Billingham or who has acted in the same development.
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 simple, no chain conveyancing. Billingham is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Billingham are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Billingham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Billingham 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 property.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Billingham. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Billingham - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.

Myself and my partner have just had an offer accepted on a apartment and had meeting on Wednesday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They have informed us that when it comes to selecting a conveyancing practitioner that unless they are on their approved panel of conveyancers then we will incur an extra fee of £250+. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to instruct a conveyancer to act on their behalf as well as the one we choose to act on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their invoice. I have asked Nationwide to supply me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. Is their an easier way of going about this?
You can enquire of Nationwide what their criteria for joining their panel is for a solicitor.Then ask the solicitor of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Nationwide previously. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Nationwide. Alternatively please make use of our search facility and we should be able to find you a conveyancer in Billingham on the panel for Nationwide.
