I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (five years built) in Verwood. The vast majority the flats have already been disposed of. Is it really necessary to order neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Verwood?
You would be taking a significant risk in failing carrying out Verwood conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying without a mortgage there is no legal requirement to have them, but we would seriously advise in no uncertain terms that you have them. If timings and cost are primary concerns you should consider with your solicitor about the options such as contingency insurance available to you
Do I need to attend the offices of the solicitor to execute the mortgage deed? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Verwood so that I can attend their offices when needed.
Nowadays approved lawyers for lenders carry out all of the work through Royal Mail, e-mail or over phone calls. This enables them to conduct the conveyancing transaction regardless of where you live in the country. That being said you should check if you can still book an appointment to visit conveyancing lawyer if needed.
What will a local search inform me regarding the property my wife and I purchasing in Verwood?
Verwood conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company such as Searchflow The local search plays an important part in many a Verwood conveyancing purchase; that is if you wish to avoid any nasty once you have moved into your property. The search should reveal information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen subject areas.
2 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Verwood concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Verwood in advance of instructing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend not grant a mortgage on a flying freehold home.
