Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Uttoxeter

Our grandson is in the process of securing a new build apartment in Uttoxeter with a mortgage from Barclays. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?

The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Barclays conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Barclays conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

I got the keys to my flat on 1 January and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Uttoxeter said it would be recorded inside ten days. Are properties in Uttoxeter particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Uttoxeter registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any third persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the premises thus registration formalities is not always an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

How does conveyancing in Uttoxeter differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Uttoxeter approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because builders in Uttoxeter usually 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Uttoxeter or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Uttoxeter is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?

Flying freeholds in Uttoxeter are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Uttoxeter you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Uttoxeter may ascertain 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 property.
