I have todaydiscovered that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Hermon for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I check that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to check if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Hermon conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Hermon differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Hermon approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because developers in Hermon usually purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Hermon or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Hermon I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Hermon for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could 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 and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
In my capacity as executor for the will of my aunt I am selling a residence in Newport but live in Hermon. My solicitor (approximately 300 kilometers awayhas requested that I execute a statutory declaration ahead of the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing practitioner in Hermon who can witness this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Hermon based
