Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Rishton

My partner and I changing mortgage lender for our apartment in Rishton with TSB. We have a son 18 who lives at home. Our solicitor requested us to identify any adults other than ourselves who lives in the flat. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the flat is forfeited by the lender. I have two concerns (1) Is this form unique to the TSB conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we purchased 5 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?

First, rest assured that your TSB conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to TSB. This is solely used to protect TSB if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of TSB had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

We are planning to acquire a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Rishton who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Coventry BS . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Rishton.

My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Rishton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Rishton lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Rishton. Having lived in Rishton for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)

I own a terraced Victorian house in Rishton. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Virgin Money. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Rishton and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.

How does conveyancing in Rishton differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Rishton contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because new home sellers in Rishton tend to acquire 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 Rishton or who has acted in the same development.

My brother has urged me to use his conveyancing solicitors in Rishton. Should I find my own property lawyer?

There are no two ways about it the best way to select a conveyancing solicitor is to seek feedback from friends or family who have experience in using the conveyancer you're are thinking of instructing.
