Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ormskirk

Do all mortgage companies provide you with an approved list of Ormskirk conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Principality conveyancing panel?

Ormskirk conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Principality conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Principality directly.

It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Ormskirk took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Ormskirk. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Ormskirk

    There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Ormskirk I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ormskirk suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

I was recommended by a few property agents in Ormskirk to get a quote from a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your site over a competitor’s?

We don’t make any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

A licensed conveyancer handled my conveyancing in Ormskirk half a dozen years past having retained my title documents but has since been shut down – how do I retreive these?
