I am helping my niece sell her property in Henlow. Does the conveyancing solicitor arrange the energy assessment or it is for the owner to see to?
After the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s remained a compulsory element of selling a property. An energy performance certificate must be to hand in advance of the property being marketed. This is not as aspect of the sale process that law firms normally organise. Where you are using a Henlow conveyancing solicitor they may help arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with long established Henlow providers
My lawyer has informed me that absentee landlord insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Henlow conveyancing?
The right level of absentee landlord indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Barclays and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
We had chosen solicitors locally in Henlow on the Skipton solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me an additional sum for handling the Skipton mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Skipton?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Skipton but by your Henlow property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Skipton panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
My wife and I have a terraced Edwardian house in Henlow. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Chelsea Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Henlow and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Henlow I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Henlow in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
