We are aiming to move house in October. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Wisbech. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across this page.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your property agent however this can only occur after the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be given over. After that you should tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you choose a conveyancing in Wisbech or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Wisbech.
Can you point me to a directory of TSB panel solicitors in Wisbech on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of lending institutions make their panel listings viewable online. If you are seeking to appoint a Wisbech property lawyer on the TSB please use our tool.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, HSBC are being a right pain. The Wisbech solicitor who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but HSBC are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do HSBC have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that HSBC have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why HSBC may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
About to purchase a new build flat in Wisbech. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Wisbech
-
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. Please supply a car parking plan. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Wisbech I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Wisbech for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
My business partner and I are wishing to lease a unit on a shopping parade. Can you recommend solicitors offering no-move-no fees for non-domestic conveyancing in Wisbech for below 2k?

Whether you are looking to acquire or lease a shop, pub, restaurant, office, retail premises or a whole business we can put you in touch with the right firm.

My wife and I may need to let out our Wisbech ground floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Wisbech conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
The lease dictates relations between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will say if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Wisbech do not contain an absolute prevention of subletting – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the property. In most cases there is a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the tenancy agreement.
Wisbech Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - Sample of Questions you should consider Prior to buying
-
Who manages the block? This question is helpful as a) areas could result in problems in the building as the common areas may start to deteriorate if repairs remain unpaid b) if the leasehold owners have an issue with the running of the building you will want to have complete disclosure Its a good idea to discover as much as you can about the company managing the building as they can either make living at the property much simpler or a lot more difficult. As the owner of a leasehold property you will be in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to every day matters like the tidiness of the common parts. Ask other people what they think of their management. On a final note, investigate as to the dates that the service fees are due to the appropriate party and specifically what it includes.
I purchased a property in Wisbech last 28/6/2023 and to date it is still not registered with HMLR. It was part of a new estate and my solicitor told me that it may take one year to complete the registration formalities. I have spoken with HMLR directly and they have informed me the initial application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. Do I need to be concerned?
It is your lawyer that you really need to turn to here in order to satisfy any questions which have been raised as part of the registration process for your Wisbech property. Normal Wisbech conveyancing practice includes an undertaking on the part of the previous owner’s conveyancing practitioner that they will assist in resolving any question raised by HMLR so it may be a case of seeking to enforce that undertaking if necessary.
