Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Carmel

I am acquiring a house for cash in Carmel. I have lived for the last dozen years in Carmel. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I know the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

Provided that you do not need a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Carmel conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will try and steer you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she is duty bound to do this. Do take into account; if you are going to sell the house in the future, it will be of relevance to your future purchaser what the searches contain. There are plenty of instances where properties with functional issues can still show up unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Carmel should be able to give you some practical guidance concerning this.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Carmel?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Carmel. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Carmel. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Carmel

    Please supply a car parking plan. 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. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Carmel prior to instructing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor advised that some banks tend not issue a mortgage on such a house.

It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different instructions for example to Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can check via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Carmel. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

I am employed by a long established estate agent office in Carmel where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales jeopardised as a result of short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local Carmel conveyancing solicitors. Could you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can commence the lease extension process for the buyer?

Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.

Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.

Carmel Leasehold Conveyancing - A selection of Questions you should ask before buying

    Is there a share of the freehold? Most Carmel leasehold properties will have a service bill for maintenance of the block invoiced on behalf of the landlord. Should you acquire the property you will have to meet this contribution, normally periodically during the year. This can be anything from a couple of hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for bigger purpose-built blocks. In all probability there will be a ground rent for you to pay annual, ordinarily this is not a large figure, say around £25-£75 but you should to enquire it because occasionally it could be many hundreds of pounds. You should want to discover as much as you can concerning the company managing the block as they can either make life much easier or problematic. Being a leasehold owner you are often at the mercy of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to day to day matters such as the upkeep of the common parts. Ask other people what they think of them. Finally, find out the dates that the maintenance charges are due to the managing agents and specifically what it includes.

I previously informed by my bank that their approved lawyers operate no move no charge basis for conveyancing in Carmel. Our purchase did not proceed yet the solicitors have requested search fees! They say the fees are seperate!

in offering "no sale no fee" Carmel conveyancing practices are waiving their fees for any work conducted. We must stress this is not to be regarded as an insurance scheme. you will still need to reimburse any costs that the conveyancer has outlayed for you for instance Carmel local authority checks
