Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Crosby

I am acquiring a newly constructed flat in Crosby and my lawyer is informing me that she is duty bound to the bank to disclose incentives from the developer. I am on a tight deadline to exchange and I don't want to prolong deal. Is my lawyer right?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancing practitioner. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

How does conveyancing in Crosby differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Crosby contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Crosby tend to purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Crosby or who has acted in the same development.

I opted to have a survey done on a property in Crosby prior to instructing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor has said that some lenders may not give a loan on this type of home.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different instructions from Nationwide. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Crosby. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Crosby especially if they are familiar with such properties in Crosby.

My father-in-law has urged me to appoint his conveyancers in Crosby. Should I use them?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Crosby conveyancing lawyer the ideal way to select a conveyancing practitioner is to get guidance from friends or relatives who have used the solicitor that you are contemplating using.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Crosby. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Crosby - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Crosby - A selection of Queries before buying

    Is the freehold reversion owned jointly by the leaseholders? What restrictions exist in the Crosby Lease? Plenty Crosby leasehold apartments will incur a service charge for maintenance of the building levied by the freeholder. Where you purchase the property you will have to pay this contribution, usually quarterly during the year. This could be anything from two or three hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for blocks with lifts and large communal areas. There will also be a rentcharge to be met annual, this is usually not a exorbitant sum, say about £50-£100 but you need to enquire as occasionally it can be prohibitively expensive.

Is it possible for you to recommend a lawyer for conveyancing in Crosby (or nearby)? This is for purchase only.My wife and I had one lined up but just discovered that are not on the panel for Principality.

LenderPanel.com is restricted to being a directory service for property lawyers who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Principality in certain locations for instance Crosby . Our intention is not to recommend any specific conveyancing practitioner.
