Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Oval

I am acquiring a newly built flat in Oval and my conveyancer is advising me that she is duty bound to the lender to disclose incentives from the builder. I am on a tight deadline to exchange contracts and I have no desire to delay the conveyancing. is my lawyer playing by the book?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancer. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

Do I select a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Oval?

There are many recorded licenced Conveyancers in Oval and Solicitor practices in Oval offering conveyancing It is important to make clear that both are supervised by regulatory bodies with both specialising in the legal aspects of transferring property. The two can deal with associated property related work such as remortgage conveyancing, lease extensions and transfer of equity conveyancing.

I am buying a 3 bedroom semi in Oval. Our aim is to an extension at the rear at the property.Will legal conveyancing on the property include enquiries to determine if these works are permitted?

Your conveyancer should review the deeds as conveyancing in Oval can on occasion reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of changes or require the consent of a 3rd party. Some works need local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be sensible to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

I happen to be the only recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Oval. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in April. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?

The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. Most banks would take a practical view as this obligation primarily exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.

We are downsizing from our home in Oval and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a web based conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Oval. We have lived in Oval for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You must 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 health insurance to cover that same illness)

Me and my brother own a semi-detached Victorian house in Oval. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Skipton Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Oval and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.

How does conveyancing in Oval differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Oval contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because new home sellers in Oval typically acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Oval or who has acted in the same development.

We are a couple of weeks into a freehold purchase having been directed to solicitors by the selling agent to perform conveyancing in Oval. We are not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?

They would need to be really bad to suggest diss instructing them. Has the mortgage been issued? If so you need to inform them of the new contact details and ensure the offer are issued to the new lawyers. The conveyancer needs to be on the lenders panel to avoid escalating costs and frustration. So that should be your first question of the new solicitors.
