I am acquiring a property for cash in Ardleigh Green. I have lived for the previous 15 years in Ardleigh Green. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I know the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then the vast majority of the Ardleigh Green conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to take that path of guidance. Do take into account; if you are going to sell the house one day, it could be of relevance to your prospective purchaser what the searches determine. Sometimes houses with day to day issues can still reveal unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Ardleigh Green will be able to give you some practical advice here.
I am due to move home in March. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Ardleigh Green. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from the estate agent but this should only happen after the vendors solicitors confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. Subsequently you should advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Ardleigh Green or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Ardleigh Green.
My offer was accepted on a house in Ardleigh Green on 19/11/2024, valuation was booked 4 days after, all came back fine. Solicitor instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Principality and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Principality to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Principality conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I have instructed a Ardleigh Green solicitor having made sure that they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Virgin Money will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Virgin Money will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Ardleigh Green surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
A relative advised me that if I am buying in Ardleigh Green I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
A search of this type is occasionally quoted for as part of the standard Ardleigh Green conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of about 40 pages, listing and setting out important information about Ardleigh Green around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Ardleigh Green Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about Ardleigh Green.
My wife and I have a terraced Edwardian property in Ardleigh Green. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Leeds Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. Is it worth asking Leeds Building Society to clarify?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Ardleigh Green and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
As co-executor for the estate of my father I am selling a property in Cardiff but reside in Ardleigh Green. My lawyer (based 200 miles from mehas requested that I sign a statutory declaration ahead of the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Ardleigh Green who can witness this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are based in Ardleigh Green
My a decade ago. He has been married, divorced and is now remarried. He will be selling the flat this May. I believe he will simply be need to supply copies of his marriage certificates to the lawyer but he is anxious it will hold up the home sale. Is it worth updating the Land Registry details for the house?
You are not required to bring up to date the title for the property on the basis that you have the evidence required to demonstrate how the name change occurred.
The purchaser’s solicitor should examine the title entries and require evidence to prove the name change for instance marriage documentation.
