Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hemsworth

Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Hemsworth who completed the legal work 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of similar values with a mortgage from The Royal Bank of Scotland. It looks as though am now being quoted double. Stick with what I know or should I seek out a cheaper internet property lawyer?

The estimate does seem a tad on the high side. Where you are content to spend time comparing charges you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by perhaps a hundred pounds. That being said, assuming were happy with the service the firm offered you mightcome to rue opting for an an unknown lawyer. If is important to check that the solicitor can act for The Royal Bank of Scotland. You can use our search tool to find a Hemsworth conveyancing firm on the The Royal Bank of Scotland approved list of lawyers, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Hemsworth.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the house moving as FTB of a ground floor flat in Hemsworth. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Hemsworth?

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 invited to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Hemsworth. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in January. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?

The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be impacted by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the bank as this provision is primarily there to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of property.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Aldermore. I assume I don't need a Hemsworth conveyancing practitioner on the Aldermore panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Aldermore mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Aldermore mortgage from the register. Aldermore, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Aldermore has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Aldermore has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Aldermore mortgage has been paid off.

Should my lawyer be asking questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Hemsworth.

Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers specialising in conveyancing in Hemsworth. There are those who purchase a house in Hemsworth, completely expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Lawyers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that can be undertaken by the buyer or by their solicitors which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Hemsworth. The conventional set of information given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard inquiry of the owner to determine if the property has ever been flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser could issue a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate answer. A buyer’s solicitors will also carry out an enviro report. This should higlight if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be conducted.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Hemsworth. 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 conveyancing.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Hemsworth

    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. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? 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. 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.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Hemsworth ahead of instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor has said that some banks may not give a mortgage on a flying freehold house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions from Halifax. If you e-mail us we can look into this further with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Hemsworth. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

Given that I will soon part with over three hundred thousand on a garden flat in Hemsworth I would like to talk to a lawyer concerning thehouse move in advance of appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

We could not agree more - we would be pleased to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the solicitor due to be carrying out your conveyancing in Hemsworth.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique individual, not a matter reference. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are provided with for your conveyancing in Hemsworth should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.
