Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Aldersgate

All was ready to complete my purchase in Aldersgate next Monday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the mortgage company. What does the insurance need to cover?

Any lawyer on acting for lenders would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s Part 2 instructions. These requirements are not specific to conveyancing in Aldersgate.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a 1st time buyer of a garden flat in Aldersgate. Do I pick up the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Aldersgate?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.

I am purchasing a property in Aldersgate. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Clydesdale have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Clydesdale your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Clydesdale. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Clydesdale where a lease fails to satisfy these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Aldersgate.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Virgin Money. I assume I don't need a Aldersgate solicitor on the Virgin Money panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Virgin Money mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Virgin Money mortgage from the register. Virgin Money, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Virgin Money has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Virgin Money has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Virgin Money mortgage has been paid off.

What can a local search inform me regarding the house my wife and I buying in Aldersgate?

Aldersgate conveyancing often commences with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search organisations for instance Xpress Legal The local search is essential in every Aldersgate conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any unpleasant surprises after you move into your new home. The search will reveal data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 topic areas.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Aldersgate with a loan from Bank of Scotland. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about this deal as it may affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Aldersgate is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Aldersgate are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Aldersgate you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Aldersgate 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 residence.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial property in Aldersgate and how can you help?

The particular law that you refer to affords security of tenure to business leaseholders, granting the dueness to make a request to court for a renewal tenancy and continue in occupation at the end of the lease term. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
