Is it realistic for conveyancing in Stanley to be done within a month?
Where the seller is applying a tight deadline to sign contracts we would recommend that your lawyer is familiar with the area as they will make use of local connections and intelligence. It is even conceivable that they would have conducted otherhouses in the same street. You would be best advised to use a Stanley conveyancing lawyer. Second, ensure that the lawyer is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is believed that just under twenty per cent of Stanley conveyancing deals are held up or jeopardised after finding out that a buyer’s solicitor was not on their mortgage lender’s list of approved solicitors. In many cases this discovery resulted in the legal process being delayed by an average of three weeks. It is said that this issue impacts in the region of one hundred thousand home sales annually. Almost all Stanley conveyancing firms can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check at the outset.
As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Stanley what’s your top tip you can give me for the home moving process in Stanley
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Stanley or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the seller, estate agent and sometimes your mortgage company. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Stanley should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the legal process whose responsibility is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
There is a worrying ongoing adversarial element to conveyancing- someone has to be blamed for the process taking so long. You should always trust your solicitor ahead of all other players when it comes to the legal assignment of property.
Please explain the implications if my solicitor is removed from the Barclays Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Stanley?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

I am the sole beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Stanley. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in October. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. How sensible a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this provision is chiefly there to capture subsales or the flipping of properties.
four months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Stanley concluded. 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 residence 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.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Stanley I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Stanley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
