My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Abbeymeads. I I am struggling to find out if they are accepted on the HSBC Bank approved list of lawyers. Could you advise?
You should e-mail your conveyancer and enquire whether they can act for the bank. Otherwise you can call HSBC Bank who may be able to assist.
A friend advised me that if I am purchasing in Abbeymeads I should ask my conveyancer to perform a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
A search of this type is usually included in the estimate for your Abbeymeads conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of about 40 pages, listing and setting out significant information about Abbeymeads around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Abbeymeads Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information regarding Abbeymeads.
It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Abbeymeads took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in Abbeymeads I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Abbeymeads for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
