This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Hawkhurst. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Hawkhurst?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I am buying a property in Hawkhurst. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Virgin Money have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Virgin Money your lawyer must check the formal requirements set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Virgin Money. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Virgin Money where a lease does not satisfy these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Hawkhurst.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Skipton are being a right pain. The Hawkhurst solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Skipton are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton 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.
Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Hawkhurst , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My Hawkhurst conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check that my ownership is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Hawkhurst is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not always top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I have been pointed in your direction by a number of selling agents in Hawkhurst to select a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your services ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to offer any financial incentive for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
What makes a Hawkhurst lease unacceptable for security purposes?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Hawkhurst. All leases are individual and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain clauses are erroneous. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
A duty to insure the building Repairing obligations to or maintain elements of the building
You could have a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Halifax, Chelsea Building Society, and Britannia all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to withdraw.
