My wife and I are purchasing a flat in North Harrow. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? On the day of competition we will need to send funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
We expect to receive a OIP from Nationwide this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nationwide recommend any North Harrow solicitors on the Nationwide conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint North Harrow solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nationwide through the process.
Our sealed bid on a semi in North Harrow has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have placed an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in North Harrow. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, North Harrow conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your property lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market many purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancing practitioner to press on with the conveyancing in North Harrow.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in North Harrow?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in North Harrow. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. North Harrow is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in North Harrow are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside North Harrow you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in North Harrow may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
As co-executor for the estate of my grandfather I am selling a house in Newport but reside in North Harrow. My lawyer (approximately 200 kilometers from merequires that I execute a statutory declaration ahead of the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in North Harrow who can attest and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are based in North Harrow
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in North Harrow. Before I get started I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in North Harrow - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
Following months of correspondence we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in North Harrow. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
Where there is a absentee freeholder or where there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the LVT to judgment on the sum to be paid.
