My relative advised me that where I am purchasing in Navenby I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
A search of this type is sometimes quoted for as part of the standard Navenby conveyancing searches. It is not a small report of about 40 pages, listing and detailing important information about Navenby around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime details, Navenby Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about Navenby.
Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Navenby , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Navenby conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the registration is concluded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Navenby registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration is effected after the buyer is living at the property thus 'speed' is not typically primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Navenby before appointing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks tend not issue a loan on this type of property.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Navenby. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

Should one remove a departed person's name from the title deeds for a house in Navenby?
Where a Navenby property is co-owned and one of the proprietors passes away, the name will not automatically be removed from the title deeds. It is not necessary to remove their name as when it comes to a sale you would simply be asked to supply proof as to the reason the other owner is missing from the transfer, such as a grant of probate.
With the aim of making things simpler for the sale of the property you can apply to have the deceased person removed from the title by applying to HMLR with proof of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
