Can you help? My Sands End solicitor is informing me me that he is legally obliged toorder Sands End conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the Virgin Moneyconveyancing panel. Is this really necessary?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Sands End conveyancing searches.
We are planning to move home in January. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Sands End. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from the selling agent however this can only take place once the sellers conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. Subsequently you can advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Sands End or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Sands End.
My wife and I buying a 3 bedroom semi in Sands End. The intention is to carry out a loft conversion at the house.Will the conveyancing process include checks to determine if these works are permitted?
Your conveyancer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Sands End can on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict categories of alterations or require the permission of a 3rd party. Certain additions require local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Sands End off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with RBS. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with RBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel.
I own a renovated Victorian property in Sands End. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to assess 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 Sands End 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 check the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.
About to purchase a new build flat in Sands End. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Sands End
-
The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. 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.
