It is 10 years ago since I purchased my house in Caergwrle. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't track down the title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be kept by the lender or they could still be with the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly in most cases 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 acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Caergwrle involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
I am buying a terrace house in Caergwrle. The intention is to carry out a loft conversion at the house.Will legal work on the property involve checks to ascertain if these alterations were previously refused?
Your solicitor will review the registered title as conveyancing in Caergwrle will on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent certain changes or require the permission of another owner. Some works require local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be wise to check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Caergwrle. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Principality have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Principality your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Principality. The CML Handbook sets out minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Principality where a lease fails to comply with these requirements. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Caergwrle.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Nottingham are being difficult. The Caergwrle solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Nottingham are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nottingham have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nottingham have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nottingham may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Me and my brother have a semi-detached Edwardian house in Caergwrle. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and National Westminster Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Caergwrle and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Caergwrle. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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 legal work.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Caergwrle
-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.
Am I best advised to instruct a Caergwrle conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am buying? An old friend can perform the legal work however they are based over three hundred kilometers drive away.
The benefit of a high street Caergwrle conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to execute documents, hand in your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a plus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust instructed your friend and they were happy that should surpass using an unfamiliar Caergwrle conveyancing solicitor just because they are round the corner.
We are soon to complete on the purchase a house in Caergwrle but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have agreed reparation from the current proprietors of £3k by way of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet my lender will not agree to this. Should they have been notified?
Your conveyancer that is on the mortgage company approved list is required to disclose to the mortgage company of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to disclose the reduction to your lender then they would need to refrain from representing you and the mortgage company.
