What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Dersingham
There are many recorded licenced Conveyancers in Dersingham and Solicitor firms in Dersingham who provide Conveyancing services We would stress that both are supervised by regulatory bodies with both specialising in the legal aspects of transferring property. Both can handle associated property related work such as remortgage conveyancing, enfranchisement and transfer of equity conveyancing.
I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Dersingham bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Dersingham conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
As long as the lawyer is on the lender approved list, she or he must adhere to the CML Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Me and my brother purchased a renovated Victorian house in Dersingham. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Dersingham and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
How does conveyancing in Dersingham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Dersingham contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Dersingham usually acquire 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Dersingham or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Dersingham is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Dersingham are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Dersingham 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 Dersingham may decide 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.
