It is a dozen years since I purchased my house in Pendlebury. Conveyancing lawyers have just been appointed on the sale but I am unable to track down my title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the mortgage company or they may stored with the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Pendlebury involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.
I have justbecome aware that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Pendlebury for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Pendlebury conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Pendlebury differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Pendlebury contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Pendlebury tend to purchase the land, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Pendlebury or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Pendlebury I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Pendlebury in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
