Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Moor Park

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Moor Park? Why is this being asked of me?

Moor Park conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property lawyers accross the UK have a duty under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to verify the identity of any client in order to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.

Conveyancing clients will need to disclose two forms of certified identification; proof of identity (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and evidence of address (usually a Utility Bill less than 3 months old).

Evidence of the origin of funds is also necessary under the money laundering regulations as conveyancers are mandated to check that the money you are utilising to acquire a property (whether it be the deposit for exchange or the full purchase monies where you are buying without a mortgage) has originated from legitimate source (such as employment savings) and is not the proceeds of illegitimate activity.

Will our conveyancer be raising questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Moor Park.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Moor Park. There are those who purchase a house in Moor Park, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be undertaken by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which can figure out the risks in Moor Park. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard question of the vendor to find out whether the property has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser may issue a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect answer. The purchaser’s solicitors may also order an enviro report. This will reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations should be conducted.

In searching the internet for the phrase conveyancing in Moor Park it brings up many solicitorsin the vicinity. How do I determine which is the right solicitor for purchase transaction?

Fees for conveyancing in Moor Park differ, so it's sensible to request a minimum of three quotes from different companies. Make sure that you clarify that the fees are fixed.

Harry (my fiance) and I may need to sub-let our Moor Park ground floor flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Moor Park conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?

Notwithstanding that your previous Moor Park conveyancing solicitor is not available you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The rule is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you are obliged to seek permission from your landlord or some other party before subletting. This means that you cannot sublet in the absence of first obtaining permission. Such consent must not not be unreasonably turned down. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.

I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without getting anywhere. Can a leaseholder make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Moor Park conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?

if there is a absentee freeholder or if there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to judgment on the premium.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Moor Park property is Flats 8, 11 and 15 Craigmore Court 46 Murray Road in December 2013. The tribunal held that the price payable by the Applicant tenant of Flat 8 to acquire an extended lease shall be £26,438 plus £1 to the intermediate lessee . The tribunal held that the price payable by the Applicant tenants of Flat 11 to acquire an extended lease shall be £26,791 plus £1 to the intermediate lessee. The tribunal held that the price payable by the Applicant tenant of Flat 15 to acquire an extended lease shall be £26,638 plus £1 to the intermediate lessee . This case affected 3 flats. The unexpired lease term was 71 years.

My husband and I are hoping to buy a three room ground floor flatin Moor Park with a mortgage from a bank. We like our conveyancer in Moor Park but our lender says she’s not listed on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose one of the our bank panel firms or keep our Moor Park solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our bank. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that our bank use our Moor Park lawyer?

No, not really. The bank home loan offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Moor Park : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
