My Solicitor in Wolstanton is not on the Bank of Ireland Solicitor Panel. Can I still continue with my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Bank of Ireland list of approved lawyers?
The limited options open to you here include:
- Carry on with your preferred Wolstanton lawyers but Bank of Ireland will need to retain a lawyer on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional overall legal fees as well as cause delays.
- Choose an alternative lawyer to act in the conveyancing, obviously checking they are Bank of Ireland approved.
- Try to convince your Bank of Ireland solicitor to seek to join the Bank of Ireland panel
I bought my house on 11 November and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Wolstanton said it will be registered in less than a month. Are titles in Wolstanton uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Wolstanton registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any other parties. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not always top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Wolstanton I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Wolstanton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
