I am purchasing a property without a mortgage in Nayland. I have been residing for the previous Seventeen years in Nayland. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I have knowledge of the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Nayland conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your conveyancer will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to do this. One thing to consider; if you are going to dispose of the house in the future, it will likely be be of relevance to your future purchaser what the searches disclose. Sometimes properties with day to day issues can still show up adverse search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Nayland will be able to give you some constructive guidance in this regard.
Will lawyers ask for an advanced payment when it comes to conveyancing in Nayland?
Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Nayland your lawyer will request that you put them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Ordinarily this is needed to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. When the down payment is payable against the purchase price then this will be asked for immediately prior to exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is needed will be payable a couple of days ahead of the completion date.
My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Nayland and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Nayland conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Nayland. Having lived in Nayland for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Nayland I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Nayland for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner 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 and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
