I have been told that property searches are a common reason for hinderance in Almondsbury conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Almondsbury.
It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Almondsbury took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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 residence 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 am buying my first flat in Almondsbury with a mortgage from Santander. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not inform my conveyancer about the deal as it will jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Almondsbury is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Almondsbury are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Almondsbury you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Almondsbury may ascertain 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.

Its a good idea to discover as much as possible about the managing agents as they can either make life much simpler or uncomfortable. As the owner of a leasehold property you are often in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to practical matters like the upkeep of the communal areas. Don't be shy to ask prospective neighbours what they think of their management. Finally, investigate as to the dates that the service charges are due to the appropriate party and precisely what it includes. How many years are left on the lease? Best to be warned if window replacement or some other significant cost is due shortly that will be shared amongst the leaseholders and will dramatically impact the level of the maintenance charges or require a specific invoice.
