Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Plympton

four months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Plympton concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

    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. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Plympton prior to retaining solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor has said that some lenders tend not give a mortgage on this type of premises.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Plympton. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.

Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Plympton - 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.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Plympton - Examples of Questions you should ask Prior to buying

    If a Plympton lease has no more than 80 years it will impact the salability of the apartment. It is worth checking with your bank that they are content with the length of the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will probably have to extend the lease at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the residence for two years before you are eligible to extend the lease. On the whole the cost for major works are not included within service charges, although a few managing agents in Plympton ask leaseholders to pay into a reserve fund and this is used to offset against larger works. What is the the remaining lease term?

Do I need to attend the offices of the lender conveyancing panel solicitor to execute the mortgage deed? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Plympton as it will be easier to pop in to their offices if necessary.

Whereas this was necessary 15 years ago, most lenders no longer require their conveyancing panel solicitor to witness the borrowers signature. You will still be obliged to provide ID Documents and there are still distinct advantages to using a local solicitor, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Plympton.
