Why do I have to pay up front for my conveyancing in Alperton?
If you are buying a property in Alperton your solicitor will request that you place them with monies to cover the search fees. Normally this is requested to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. When the deposit is as part of the purchase price then this will be asked for shortly ahead of exchange of contracts. The closing balance that is needed should be sent to your lawyer shortly before completion.
I am purchasing a detached bungalow in Alperton. The intention is to an extension at the rear at the property.Will the conveyancing process include enquiries to ascertain if these alterations are prohibited?
Your property lawyer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Alperton will sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of changes or need the permission of a 3rd party. Some works need local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Alperton. The Alperton property was put into my name in December. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in December. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. many lenders would take a pragmatic view as this provision chiefly exists to capture subsales or the flipping of properties.
We had selected conveyancing lawyers locally in Alperton on the Nationwide solicitor panel. They have just billed me a supplemental amount for the legal aspects of the Nationwide mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Nationwide?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer may levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Nationwide but by your Alperton conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Nationwide panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Alperton concluded. 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 premises 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.
