One must have a conveyancer to complete the formalities if you need a mortgage to purchase your property. They will conduct all the essential legal checks on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is in order. You can instruct a Hartford conveyancing practitioner of your choice. However, where the lawyer appointed is not on the lender conveyancing panel supplemental costs will be levied as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so provided your solicitor has not historically sought membership they should do so.

I completed on my flat on 1 May and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Hartford advises it will be recorded inside ten days. Are titles in Hartford particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in Hartford is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration occurs after the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore post completion formalities is not always an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Hartford I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Hartford for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

I have been recommended by two or three local estate agents in Hartford to find a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your site rather than another?

We refuse to give any financial incentive for directing people in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

In my capacity as executor for the will of my aunt I am disposing of a property in Swansea but I am based in Hartford. My conveyancer (who is 260 miles from mehas requested that I execute a statutory declaration ahead of the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Hartford who can witness and place their company stamp on the document?

strictly speaking you are not likely to be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Hartford based
