It is 10 years ago since I bought my house in Aldermanbury. Conveyancing solicitors have just been appointed on the sale but I can't locate the title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they could stored with the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Aldermanbury relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
Is there a list of Clydesdale panel solicitors in Aldermanbury on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
No. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of mortgage companies make their panel listings visible over the internet. If you are seeking to appoint a Aldermanbury solicitor on the Clydesdale please make the most of our facility.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Clydesdale are being difficult. The Aldermanbury solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Clydesdale are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Skipton have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a house in Aldermanbury has been agreed to, now what?
Your estate agent will want to know who your solicitors are (make sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the lender’s panel). Contact Skipton or the broker and finalise any appropriate forms. Skipton will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to book a slot for the valuation to occur. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days to receive the mortgage offer. Skipton will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Aldermanbury.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Aldermanbury and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Aldermanbury. Having lived in Aldermanbury for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Aldermanbury I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Aldermanbury in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, but the estate agent advised that the seller will only move forward if we appoint the agent's chosen solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Aldermanbury
It is improbable the sellers are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Aldermanbury conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing targets set by senior management.
