I instructed a Witham based firm for our conveyancing in Witham recently. After carefully reading the Terms I noteI am on the hook for charges even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I go with them or appoint a web based conveyancing company promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Witham?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be uplifted to counteract those cases that do not go ahead. Also remember that such schemes generally do not protect you from expenses by way of example Witham conveyancing search fees.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Witham last May yet the purchaser is e-mailing every few hours to moan that her solicitor needs to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?
Following your sale your lawyer should forward the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. Where relevant, your lawyer must also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been repaid to the buyers conveyancers. There are no post completion tasks just for conveyancing in Witham.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Witham?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Witham. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in Witham I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Witham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
