Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Cullompton

Are the BSA planning on creating a online directory to list practices on the Earl Shilton BS conveyancing panel for instance in Cullompton?

We would not expect to be advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to develop such a register.

I have a semi-detached Georgian property in Cullompton. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Cullompton and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.

How does conveyancing in Cullompton differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Cullompton approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because new home sellers in Cullompton usually buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Cullompton or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Cullompton is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Cullompton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Cullompton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cullompton may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

Back In 2009, I bought a leasehold flat in Cullompton. Conveyancing and The Royal Bank of Scotland mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing practitioner in Cullompton who acted for me is not around. What should I do?

The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to make sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to instruct a Cullompton conveyancing practitioner to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

I bought a leasehold flat in Cullompton, conveyancing was carried out February 2006. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Similar properties in Cullompton with an extended lease are worth £211,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2092

With just 67 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £10,500 and £12,000 plus legals.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
