My conveyancer has informed me that restrictive coveneant insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Crews Hill?
The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Birmingham Midshires and Virgin Money. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
I'm in the throws of looking at apartments in Crews Hill and I am about to put in an offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Virgin Money.
It would be advisable to start your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent. As you are taking out a mortgage with Virgin Money, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nottingham. Is it usual for Nottingham to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Crews Hill is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nottingham have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nottingham to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I am downsizing from our property in Crews Hill and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Crews Hill lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Crews Hill. We have lived in Crews Hill for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one close by in Crews Hill I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Crews Hill suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
Can you offer any advice when it comes to finding a Crews Hill conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?
If you are instructing a property lawyer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Crews Hill conveyancing practice) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We suggest that you speak with two or three firms including non Crews Hill conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be helpful:
-
If they are not ALEP accredited then why not? What volume of lease extensions has the firm conducted in Crews Hill in the last year?
I have had difficulty in seeking a lease extension in Crews Hill. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
Most certainly. We are happy to put you in touch with a Crews Hill conveyancing firm who can help.
