Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Papworth Everard

My Papworth Everard solicitor has uncovered a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer has advised that he must ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s approach correct?

Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Papworth Everard? What am I being asked for?

Papworth Everard conveyancing solicitors as well as nationwide property practitioners accross the UK have a duty under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to verify the identity of any client with a view to ensure that clients are who they say they are.

Conveyancing clients will need to disclose two forms of certified ID; proof of ID (usually a Passport or Driving Licence) and proof of address (usually a Bank Statement no more than three months).

Proof of source of monies is also required under the money laundering laws as solicitors are obliged to investigate that the funds you are utilising to acquire a property (be it the exchange deposit or the total purchase monies where you are a cash purchaser) has originated from a reputable source (such as employment savings) as opposed to the product of criminal behaviour.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Papworth Everard. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Papworth Everard

    Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. 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. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

Given that I will soon spend 450k on a two bedroom apartment in Papworth Everard I wish to talk to a solicitor concerning thehome move ahead of instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

This is something that we encourage - we would be happy to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the solicitor who will be doing your conveyancing in Papworth Everard.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique individual, not a matter reference. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are quoted for residential conveyancing in Papworth Everard should be the figure that you end up paying.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Papworth Everard. Before I get started I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Papworth Everard - 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.

I am the registered owner of a split level flat in Papworth Everard, conveyancing was carried out 9 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Papworth Everard with an extended lease are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease expires on 21st October 2083

With just 58 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £22,800 and £26,400 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

My mum and dad are encountering problems in finding their Papworth Everard land registry title on the site. They recall that 48 years ago when they purchased the bungalow there were complications concerning the address not being identified on some systems.

Nearly all properties in Papworth Everard should show up. Have you endevoured to search to simply the postcode. Normally it should disclose all the premises within the postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will show up with a title number. Where they bought fifty years ago it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The address might still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title deeds which may be with your parent’s bank.
