We decided to go with a Malden based solicitor for my conveyancing in Malden yesterday. Going through the Terms and Conditions I seewe are liable for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or choose a web based lawyer advertising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Malden?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be higher to cover the cases that do not proceed. You should be mindful that such offerings generally do not protect you from disbursements such as Malden conveyancing search fees.
Due to complete my purchase in Malden next Tuesday. My conveyancing practitioner now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the mortgage company. What does the insurance need to cover?
All property lawyers on acting for lenders would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s Part 2 instructions. These obligations are not unique to conveyancing in Malden.
It is 10 years ago since I bought my house in Malden. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I can't track down the title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by your lender or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Malden relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Malden. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Malden
-
Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Malden I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Malden for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
What does commercial conveyancing in Malden cover?

For instance, this type of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more commonly, the assignment of existing business tenancies or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial mortgages and the termination of leases.
