It is 10 years ago since I purchased my home in Newton Aycliffe. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate my deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Newton Aycliffe relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.

I can see plenty of here regarding conveyancing in Newton Aycliffe but can you isolate your top tip for appointing the right conveyancer in Newton Aycliffe
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest Newton Aycliffe conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
I currently have a mortgage with UBS for my property in Newton Aycliffe. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform UBS?
UBS must be informed of your intention prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of UBS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact UBS directly. You need not do this via a UBS conveyancing panel solicitor.
I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Yorkshire BS are being difficult. The Newton Aycliffe solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Yorkshire BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Just bought a semi-detached house in Newton Aycliffe , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Newton Aycliffe conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check that my name is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Newton Aycliffe is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any third parties. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the property so registration formalities is not typically primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Taking into account that I am about to part with £400,000 on 3 bedroom house in Newton Aycliffe I wish to talk to a conveyancer about myhome move in advance of instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?
We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the conveyancer due to be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Newton Aycliffe.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique individual, not a file number.
