Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Nafferton

Is the fact that my conveyancer in Nafferton is not identified on my lender's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?

That is most likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should simply call the Nafferton conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for delay in Nafferton conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Nafferton.

Me and my brother own a terraced Georgian house in Nafferton. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Coventry Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Nafferton and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in Nafferton I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Nafferton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial property in Nafferton and how can you help?

The particular law that you refer to provides security of tenure to commercial tenants, giving them the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a renewal lease and continue in occupation at the end of the lease term. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
