My wife and I are soon to exchange on the purchase of a house in Rawcliffe but as a result of damage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the vendor in the sum of six thousand pounds in the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement however Nationwide are not allowing this. Why were they informed?
Any solicitor being on a Nationwide conveyancing panel is required to inform Nationwide of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your property lawyer to report the reduction to Nationwide then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Nationwide and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Rawcliffe.
My father pointed out to me me that in buying a property in Rawcliffe there may be a number of restrictions limiting what one can do in terms of external changes to the property. Is this right?
There are a number of properties in Rawcliffe which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to carry out external alterations. Part of the conveyancing in Rawcliffe should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with UBS. I assume I don't need a Rawcliffe conveyancer on the UBS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your UBS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the UBS mortgage from the register. UBS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where UBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- UBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Lloyds have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a apartment in Rawcliffe has been accepted, now what?
Your property agent will want to know who your solicitors are (be sure the solicitors are on the lender’s panel). Contact Lloyds or your financial adviser and finalise any outstanding paperwork. Lloyds will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to arrange a time for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week to get a mortgage offer. Lloyds will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Rawcliffe.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Rawcliffe is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Rawcliffe are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Rawcliffe you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rawcliffe may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

I am a negotiator for a long established estate agent office in Rawcliffe where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales jeopardised as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given conflicting advice from local Rawcliffe conveyancing solicitors. Could you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can commence the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
