Having sold my house in Worsley last May but my buyer keeps Skype messaging me complaining that her conveyancer needs to hear from myconveyancer. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?
Post completion of your house sale your conveyancer should deliver the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. If applicable, your lawyer must also evidence that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been repaid to the buyers lawyers. There are no post completion requirements specific conveyancing in Worsley.
Me and my partner are purchasing a apartment in Worsley. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we have to put funds into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a 1st time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Worsley. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Worsley?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Skipton. I assume I don't need a Worsley conveyancer on the Skipton panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Skipton mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Skipton mortgage from the register. Skipton, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Skipton has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Skipton has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Me and my brother own a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Worsley. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Bank of Ireland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking Bank of Ireland to clarify?
You should read 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 Worsley and other locations in 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 position with your conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.
Harry (my fiance) and I may need to rent out our Worsley 1st floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Worsley conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Even though your last Worsley conveyancing solicitor is no longer around you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The rule is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to seek permission from your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet without prior permission. The consent must not not be unreasonably withheld. If the lease prohibits you from subletting the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
I bought a leasehold flat in Worsley, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in Worsley with a long lease are worth £265,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease runs out on 21st October 2099
With 75 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
The conveyancers conducting our conveyancing in Worsley has sent papers to review that indicate that the property is unregistered with epitome documents. Why is the property not registred at HM Land Regsitry?
Although most properties in Worsley are now registered with HM Land Registry there are still a few that remain unregistered. Any property in Worsley that has been remortgaged since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HM Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Worsley property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Worsley conveyancing lawyers should be able to handle this type of conveyancing but in the event that uncertainty exists the standard proposition presently appears to be for the seller’s conveyancer to register it first and then deal with the transfer to the buyer - this will have a knock on effect to cause a significant delay.
