I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to vacate my rented property in Bingham by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. How realistic is it to complete in 4 weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into temporary accommodation?
Generally one should not provide notice on a rental until exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not already done so, contact to your conveyancer and request that they cajole the other lawyers, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will look towards
My husband and I have organised a further advance on our mortgage from Leeds Building Society as we intend to carry out a loft conversion to our house in Bingham. Are we obliged to appoint a high street Bingham solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Leeds Building Society don't usually instruct a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Leeds Building Society list.
My fiancee and I are in the throws of looking at flats in Bingham and I am about to put in an offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a home loan with Lloyds.
You should start obtaining conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Lloyds, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
I have paid off my mortgage with Coventry BS. I assume I don't need a Bingham solicitor on the Coventry BS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Coventry BS 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 Coventry BS mortgage from the register. Coventry BS, 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 Coventry BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Coventry BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
A relative advised me that where I am purchasing in Bingham I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
A search of this type is occasionally included in the estimate for your Bingham conveyancing searches. It is a large report of about 40 pages, listing and detailing important information about Bingham around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Bingham Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information about Bingham.
Just bought a semi-detached house in Bingham , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Bingham conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure that my name is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Bingham registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not usually an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
My father has suggested that I appoint his conveyancing solicitors in Bingham. Do I take his guidance?
No doubt the ideal way to select a conveyancing lawyer is to have referrals from friends or family who have experience in using the conveyancer that you are are thinking of instructing.
There are a number of houses in Bingham on unadopted roads. I am purchasing such a property. What are the pros and cons of purchasing a property on a private road?
Bingham conveyancing practices will be used to conveyancing propertieson private. Your property lawyer will review the title to find any rights or liabilities. In many cases there is a residents association that residents pay into to maintain the road. Where there is one, the road should be maintained and look better than publicly owned.
