Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Saxilby

Is the fact that my conveyancer in Saxilby is not identified on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?

It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Saxilby conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (seven years built) in Saxilby. The vast majority the appartments are already sold. Do I need carry out the local searches as part of conveyancing in Saxilby?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Saxilby is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?

Flying freeholds in Saxilby are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Saxilby you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Saxilby 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've recently bought a leasehold property in Saxilby. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

In this situation the lessees have control and even though a managing agent is often retained where it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants.
