Me and my fiance are acquiring a leasehold flat in Alderley Edge. My Solicitor is not listed on the mortgage company solicitor panel. Can I still appoint my Alderley Edge conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You must instruct a lawyer to complete the formalities when you take out a mortgage to purchase your property. They will conduct all the necessary legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is in place. You could instruct a Alderley Edge conveyancing practitioner of your choice. However, where the conveyancing practitioner selected is not on the bank solicitor panel supplemental costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so provided your conveyancer has not historically sought membership they should do so.
My husband and I intend to remortgage our flat in Alderley Edge with Nationwide. We have a son 18 who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the property is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this document specific to the Nationwide conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we remortgaged 5 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this compromise his entitlement to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your Nationwide conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Nationwide. This is solely used to protect Nationwide if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Nationwide had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Alderley Edge is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Alderley Edge are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Alderley Edge you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Alderley Edge may determine 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 property.
My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent told us that the vendor will only move forward if we use the agent's chosen solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Alderley Edge
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the owners directly and explain that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your own,trusted Alderley Edge conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Alderley Edge. Before diving in I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Alderley Edge - 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.
