Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Market Weighton

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Market Weighton? Is this really necessary?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering laws require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing retainer. The Terms and Conditions that you need to sign should reaffirm this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. Should you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your solicitor would not be able to accept instructions from you.

Various internet forums that I have frequented warn that are the main cause of hinderance in Market Weighton conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Market Weighton.

How does conveyancing in Market Weighton differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Market Weighton contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Market Weighton tend to purchase the land, 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 conveyancers 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 Market Weighton or who has acted in the same development.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one close by in Market Weighton I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Market Weighton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

If you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
