Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Peterborough

At long last a loan agreement from Nationwide for the refinancing of my 3 room garden flat is expected imminently. Are you able to propose a cheap conveyancing practitioner in Peterborough?

You are on the wrong site if you are in need of the lowest fares for conveyancing solicitors in Peterborough. Our intention is to offer cost effective conveyancing but we do not aim to work with the cheapest lawyers. Resist the temptation to appoint organisations seducing you with ninety nine pound conveyancing in Peterborough. In your best case scenario, in going for cheap conveyancing, you will earn what you pay for and at worst it will result in you with a surprising uplift in extras and still not end up with the service expected.

Our son is buying a house that has just been built in Peterborough with a mortgage from Barclays. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?

The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Barclays conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Barclays conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Can you clarify what the consequences are if my solicitor is suspended from the TSB Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Peterborough?

The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

Have purchased a a terraced house in Peterborough , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Peterborough conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my name is registered.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Peterborough registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the property thus post completion formalities is not usually primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

Helen (my wife) and I may need to rent out our Peterborough 1st floor flat temporarily due to a new job. We used a Peterborough conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

A small minority of properties in Peterborough do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Peterborough - A selection of Questions you should ask Prior to Purchasing

    How much is the annual maintenance fee and ground rent? In the main the outlay for major works tend not to be included within service charges, albeit that a few managing agents in Peterborough ask leasehold owners to contribute towards a sinking fund and this is used to offset against larger works. This information is important as a) areas may result in problems in the building as the communal areas may start to deteriorate if repairs are not paid for b) if the tenants have an issue with the managing agents you will want to have all the details
