My stepmother informed me that in purchasing a property in Aldeburgh there may be various restrictions prohibiting external alterations to the property. Is this right?
We are aware of a number of properties in Aldeburgh which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to carry out external variations. Part of the conveyancing in Aldeburgh should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Aldeburgh. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
About to purchase maisonette in Aldeburgh. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Aldeburgh property lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
Just acquired a semi-detached house in Aldeburgh , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Aldeburgh conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain that my purchase is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Aldeburgh is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. At present roughly 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration occurs once the purchaser is living at the property thus post completion formalities is not always primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Aldeburgh is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Aldeburgh are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Aldeburgh you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Aldeburgh may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Aldeburgh. Before diving in I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is registered - and most are in Aldeburgh - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details 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.
