My aunt pointed out to me me that in buying a property in Euxton there could be various restrictions preventing external changes to a property. Is this right?
There are a number of properties in Euxton which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to external alterations. Part of the conveyancing in Euxton should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
The mortgage over my property is with Lloyds for my property in Euxton. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Lloyds?
You must advise Lloyds before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Lloyds’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Lloyds will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Lloyds directly. You need not do this via a Lloyds conveyancing panel lawyer.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Clydesdale are being a right pain. The Euxton solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Clydesdale are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale 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.
I opted to have a survey done on a house in Euxton in advance of retaining lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will not give a loan on this type of property.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Euxton.

I’m about to sell my 2 bed apartment in Euxton. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just had a half-yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as usual given that all ground rent and maintenance payments should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
Leasehold Conveyancing in Euxton - Examples of Questions you should ask before Purchasing
-
Does the lease contain onerous restrictions? For most Euxton leaseholds the cost for major works are not wrapped into the service charges, albeit that some managing agents in Euxton ask leaseholders to contribute towards a sinking fund and this is used to offset against larger works. Are any of leasehold owners in arrears of their service charge liability?
My conveyancing solicitor in Euxton has informed me that he requires identification documents stating that this forms part of his requirements as a conveyancer on the bank Solicitor panel. Can you confirm whether this is the case?
Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the bank. This is not unique to conveyancing in Euxton
