Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Tenterden. Conveyancing is needed. What are my next steps?
Given that you have now for in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you should instruct a conveyancing practitioner as a matter of urgency as you are faced with a pending deadline in which to complete the deal. All auction property should have a corresponding legal set of papers. This will include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the conveyancing pack may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork relating to a leasehold property. You need to hand this to the solicitor instructed by you at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I am the sole recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Tenterden. The Tenterden property was put into my name in February. I want to move. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in February. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be affected by that. Most banks would take a pragmatic view as this clause principally exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Tenterden. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Tenterden conveyancer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Tenterden , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Tenterden conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my purchase is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Tenterden registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. Currently in the region of three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not usually primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Tenterden differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Tenterden come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because new home sellers in Tenterden typically purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Tenterden or who has acted in the same development.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the agent told us that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Tenterden
We suspect that the seller is not behind this demand. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is counter productive. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your preferred Tenterden conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by senior management.
I'm remortgaging a house in Tenterden. I have found my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't find my conveyancer's name on the list. Should I be concerned?
Not every individual in the practice must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the transaction, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unqualified staff.
