I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and have to vacate my let out apartment in Cornhill On Tweed by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Is it possible to complete in six weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into temporary accommodation?
The normal practice is not to give notice for your letting unless your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not previously done so, speak to your lawyer and request that they apply pressure on the owners solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will aim towards
We are downsizing from our property in Cornhill On Tweed and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Cornhill On Tweed conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used an online conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Cornhill On Tweed. Having lived in Cornhill On Tweed for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Cornhill On Tweed. Conveyancing is daunting 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 conveyancing.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Cornhill On Tweed
-
Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Cornhill On Tweed I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Cornhill On Tweed in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
Am I better off to go with a Cornhill On Tweed conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can carry out the conveyancing but his firm is located a couple of hundredkilometers away.
The primary upside of using a local Cornhill On Tweed conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to execute documents, present your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were content that must outweigh using an unknown Cornhill On Tweed conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being Cornhill On Tweed based.
