I am aiming to move home in May. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Langford. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from your property agent however this can only happen once the sellers lawyers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. You should tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Langford or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Langford.
is it true that all Langford solicitor practices on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the SRA. The majority of mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be governed by the CLC.
I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Langford. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £150. A couple of days later, the property lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Aldermore panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am buying my first flat in Langford with a mortgage from National Westminster Bank. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not reveal to my lawyer about this extras as it could put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Langford is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Langford are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Langford you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Langford may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Langford. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I inherited a split level flat in Langford, conveyancing formalities finalised 5 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Langford with an extended lease are worth £185,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease finishes on 21st October 2082
With 61 years left to run the likely cost is going to be between £19,000 and £22,000 plus costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
There are a number of properties in Langford on unadopted roads. My husband and I are buying such a house. What would be the advantages and disadvantages of purchasing a residence on a privately owned road?
Langford conveyancing practices are used to dealing homeson unadopted roads. Your conveyancing practitioner should investigate Land Registry data to find any rights or responsibilities. In many cases there is a residents association that residents pay into to maintain the road. Where one exists, the road will likely be maintained and look nicer than council owned.
