I just bought a house at auction in West Bromwich. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?
Now that you have to in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you must find a conveyancing practitioner soon as you will have a pending a drop dead date to complete the property. Every auction property should have a bespoke auction pack. This should include evidence of title and search results. In the case of leasehold premises the auction pack may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork relating to leasehold premises. You must hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. Do make sure that your finances are organised to complete on the on the contractual date .
We had appointed conveyancers located in West Bromwich on the Bank of Ireland solicitor panel. They have just billed me an additional sum for the legal aspects of the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Bank of Ireland?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Bank of Ireland but by your West Bromwich solicitor. Plenty of firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local West Bromwich building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My West Bromwich conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the solicitor is on the bank panel, she or he must comply with the CML Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I own a renovated Victorian property in West Bromwich. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Santander. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in West Bromwich and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. West Bromwich is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in West Bromwich are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in West Bromwich you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in West Bromwich 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.
A licensed conveyancer handled my conveyancing in West Bromwich half a dozen years ago and was holding my registration documents but has now closed – What can I do to get hold of them?
Title deeds, as such, no longer exist as the majority of homes in West Bromwich are archived digitally at Land Registry. Should you need to show ownership or are disposing of or refinancing your conveyancing practitioner will need to obtain up to date copies of the register from the Land Registry in any case.
