I am acquiring a property for cash in Ruthin. I have lived for the previous dozen years in Ruthin. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a home loan, then almost all of the Ruthin conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he is duty bound to take that path of guidance. Do take into account; if you are intend to dispose of the house in the future, it may be of relevance to your future purchaser what the searches disclose. There are plenty of instances where houses with day to day issues can still reveal negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Ruthin should provide you some sensible advice in this regard.
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Ruthin. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Ruthin?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Ruthin. My financial adviser suggested a conveyancing practitioner. I paid an upfront payment of £225. Soon after, the solicitor called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Lloyds panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Nationwide are being problematic. The Ruthin solicitor who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Nationwide are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Nationwide have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nationwide have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nationwide may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
My wife and I purchased a terraced Victorian property in Ruthin. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Alliance & Leicester . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Ruthin and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Ruthin is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Ruthin are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Ruthin you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ruthin may ascertain 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.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Ruthin. Before I get started I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Ruthin - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details 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.
I own a garden flat in Ruthin, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Ruthin with over 90 years remaining are worth £165,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease terminates on 21st October 2101
With just 77 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £7,600 and £8,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
