Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property can not be found. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Pattingham 5 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should be aware exactly where to find all the suitable paperwork so you may purchase or dispose of your house without any difficulty. If copies are not available, your conveyancer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on the premises.
I'm buying a new build house in Pattingham with a loan from TSB. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this extras as it would impact my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Should I appoint a Pattingham conveyancing practitioner based in the vicinity that I am buying? We have a good friend who can conduct the legal work however his firm is located 300kilometers away.
The benefit of a high street Pattingham conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to execute documents, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Pattingham know how is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and in the main were happy that must trump using an unknown Pattingham conveyancing solicitor just because they are based in the area.
I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Pattingham. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I inherited a basement flat in Pattingham, conveyancing having been completed April 2007. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Comparable flats in Pattingham with a long lease are worth £170,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease expires on 21st October 2103
With only 78 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £7,600 and £8,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
