I am not well enough to travel far from Netherley. Can you please clarify why all Netherley solicitors aren't included on all lender panels?
Lenders point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The elimination of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. It resulted in mortgage companies pruning less reputable firms from their panel of approved solicitors .
I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and have to vacate my let out apartment in Netherley by 25/11/2024. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. How realistic is it to complete in a couple of weeks as don't want to have to move into short term accommodation?
It is unwise to provide notice for your letting unless exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not already done so, update to your conveyancer and urge them to they cajole the other solicitors, try to a target completion date that all parties will aim to achieve
I got the keys to my flat on 16 March and the transaction details are still not registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Netherley expressed confidence that it would be formalised inside ten days. Are properties in Netherley uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Netherley is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the premises so 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Netherley I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Netherley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
