It is a dozen years since I bought my property in Spilsby. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they may stored with the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Spilsby involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
We previously selected conveyancers locally in Spilsby on the Co-operative solicitor panel. They have just billed me a further sum for the legal aspects of the Co-operative mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Co-operative?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your solicitor is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Co-operative but by your Spilsby conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Co-operative panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices include it on their overall fee.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Coventry BS. Spilsby conveyancing lawyers are chosen. How long does it take for Coventry BS to issue the offer to the property lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Coventry BS completed the survey? Have you informed Coventry BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
Lloyds have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a property in Spilsby has been agreed to, what happens next?
Your estate agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the property lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Contact Lloyds or the financial adviser and finish off any relevant paperwork. Lloyds will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to schedule an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight to get a mortgage offer. Lloyds will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Spilsby.
About to purchase a new build apartment in Spilsby. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Spilsby
-
There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. 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. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Spilsby is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Spilsby are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Spilsby you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Spilsby 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 residence.

As a tenant I am liable for a maintenance fee for my flat in Spilsby. Due to redundancy and other issues I fell behind with payments. The freeholders agreed a clearance plan but there is still about £3000 currently due.
I now wish to sell and I am nervous that this will hold me back if I have to settle the amount due now. I'd like to sell up and then pay them back with the proceeds - is this practicable?
The conveyancer undertaking your Spilsby sale will hopefully be in a position to negotiate with the management company, and agree with them whether or not they would accept payment out of the completion monies. This is indicative of why it is advisable to appoint a property lawyer in Spilsby as they may well enjoy a strong line of communication with the management company.
