I am due to move home in October. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Street. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from your selling agent however this can only happen once the vendors lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. After that you can inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you find a conveyancing in Street or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Street.
My lawyer has informed me that lack of building regulations insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Street conveyancing?
The right level of lack of building regulations indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Santander and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Street bank branch on a couple of occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Street conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Your solicitor must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 provisions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
The deeds to our house are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Street 10 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?
As long as the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be held by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to carry out a search at the Land Registry, locate your property and secure up to date copies of the property title for a small fee. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually hold a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for a small fee.
About to purchase a new build flat in Street. Conveyancing is daunting 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 conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Street
-
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. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Street is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Street are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Street you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Street may decide 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.

My folks are unable to locate their Street property on the HM Land Registry online search facility. They recall that back in the 70’s when they purchased the property there were complications regarding Street not being recognised in some systems.
The vast majority of residences in Street should appear. Have you endevoured to search with just the postcode. Usually it will mention all the properties inside that postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will show up with a title number. If they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The address may still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title documentation which may be with your parent’s mortgage company.
