Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Crewe. Do I receive the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Crewe?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to collect the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I have been advised by my solicitor that restrictive coveneant insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Crewe conveyancing?
The appropriate level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
We previously chose conveyancers with offices in Crewe on the Coventry BS solicitor approved list. They have just billed me an additional charge for handling the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Coventry BS?
Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Coventry BS but by your Crewe lawyer. Some firms on the Coventry BS panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
Just bought a terraced house in Crewe , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Crewe conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the registration is concluded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Crewe registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the new owner is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not typically top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
My uncle has suggested that I appoint his lawyers for conveyancing in Crewe. Do I follow his advice?
No doubt it’s preferable to select a conveyancing practitioner is to seek recommendations from friends or relatives who have actually used the conveyancer you're considering.
I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two maisonettes in Crewe both have about fifty years remaining on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
A lease is a right to use the property for a period of time. As a lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease decreases and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage lenders may be reluctant to lend money on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
