Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Duffield

My mortgage broker has requested my Duffield lawyer’ panel reference for the Nat West conveyancing panel. How do I find this out. I have contacted my local Duffield office but they have not got back to me yet.

You are best placed to get this information from your Duffield property lawyer . They should have a central record lender panel numbers.

I am helping my step-mother sell her property in Duffield. Will the conveyancer order the energy assessment or should I organise this?

After the demise of Home Packs, energy assessments was kept a required part of selling a property. An energy assessment should be commissioned before the property is marketed. This is not something that lawyers normally organise. Where you are using a Duffield conveyancing solicitor they might be willing to arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with long established local assessors

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Duffield. I have a mortgage offer with Lloyds. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Lloyds, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Kent Reliance are being a right pain. The Duffield solicitor who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Kent Reliance are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Kent Reliance have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Kent Reliance have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Kent Reliance may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Should our lawyer be making enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Duffield.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Duffield. There are those who purchase a property in Duffield, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a various searches that can be carried out by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Duffield. The standard completed inquiry forms supplied to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual inquiry of the seller to discover whether the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser could bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading response. The buyer’s conveyancers should also carry out an environmental search. This should indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be initiated.

three months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Duffield completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Duffield. Conveyancing is necessary evil 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 legal work.

Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Duffield

    Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Duffield is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Duffield are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Duffield you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Duffield may ascertain 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.
