It is a dozen years since I purchased my property in Blackfen. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find my title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by your mortgage company or they may stored with the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Blackfen involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Blackfen. Conveyancing is necessary. What are my next steps?
Now that you are legally committed yourself to purchase you must hire the services of a conveyancing solicitor quickly as you now have a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the property. Every auction property should have an associated auction pack. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. In the case of leasehold premises the conveyancing pack should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork specific to leasehold premises. You should give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I am aiming to move property in July. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Blackfen. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across this page.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your estate agent but this should only occur after the previous owners lawyers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be given over. Subsequently you can tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Blackfen or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Blackfen.
I'm the sole recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the my former home in Blackfen. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in May. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the house in May. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. Some mortgage companies would take a practical view as this requirement is chiefly there to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of property.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Blackfen I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Blackfen suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 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 existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
I was advised by numerous property agents in Blackfen to choose a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your services over another?
We refuse to give any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
My partner has encouraged me to instruct his conveyancers in Blackfen. Should I choose my own property lawyer?
There are no two ways about it the best way to find a conveyancing solicitor is to seek recommendations from friends or relatives who have actually previously instructed the firm that you are contemplating using.
