We are selling our flat in Edwinstowe. Does my lawyer have to be required to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Barclays conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently in recent years.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house are lost. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Edwinstowe 10 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
Gone are the days when you need to have the physical deeds to evidence that you own the land or property, as the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Edwinstowe. Conveyancing is daunting 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.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Edwinstowe
-
The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? 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. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Edwinstowe is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Edwinstowe are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Edwinstowe you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Edwinstowe 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 residence.
Am I better off to choose a Edwinstowe conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am buying? We have a good friend who can carry out the legal work however his firm is located over three hundred kilometers drive away.
The primary upside of using a high street Edwinstowe conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to sign documents, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a plus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and the majority were impressed that must surpass using an unfamiliar Edwinstowe conveyancing solicitor just because they are round the corner.
What can I do where I am unhappy with the conveyancing practitioner who handled my conveyancing in Edwinstowe?
We live in an imperfect world, and is is a fact of life that occasionally things do go wrong. However there is recourse where you were not happy with your conveyancing in Edwinstowe. This varies from trying to resolve matters directly with them, through to reporting a conveyancer to their regulator. If you remain unhappy you may consider enlisting the help of the Legal Ombudsman.
