We are due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Woburn Sands but as a result of damage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the owner in the sum of £2k taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract yet Nottingham will not agree to this. Why were they involved?
Any lawyer being on a Nottingham conveyancing panel is duty bound to disclose to Nottingham of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to report the reduction to Nottingham then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Nottingham and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Woburn Sands.
It is a dozen years since I bought my house in Woburn Sands. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't find my deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with the lender or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Woburn Sands involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a ground floor flat in Woburn Sands. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Woburn Sands?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.
We are purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in Woburn Sands. We would like to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will legal investigations on the property involve investigations to ascertain if these alterations were previously refused?
Your property lawyer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Woburn Sands will on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent categories of changes or need the consent of another owner. Many works call for local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
Having digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Woburn Sands solicitor - who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Barclays will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Barclays will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Woburn Sands surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Woburn Sands I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Woburn Sands suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
