Can you help - my lawyer says that absentee landlord insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Sacriston?
The right level of absentee landlord indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
We previously chose conveyancers with offices in Sacriston on the Santander solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a supplemental amount for dealing with the Santander mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Santander?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Santander but by your Sacriston property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Santander panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Sacriston. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Sacriston property lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.
A friend recommended that if I am buying in Sacriston I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
A search of this type is usually quoted for as part of the standard Sacriston conveyancing searches. It is a large document of about 40 pages, listing and detailing significant information about Sacriston around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Local Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information concerning Sacriston.
It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Sacriston completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 premises 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.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Sacriston is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Sacriston are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Sacriston you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sacriston 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 residence.
