My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Barnehurst. Conveyancing is necessary. What are my next steps?
Given that you have now legally bound yourself to purchase you will need to instruct a conveyancing lawyer soon as you will have a pending deadline in which to complete the conveyancing. Every auction property will ordinarily have an associated auction pack. This should include most,if not all of the paperwork that your solicitor requires. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the auction papers may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation relating to a leasehold property. You need to pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. Do make sure that you have funds in order to complete on the date specified in the contract.
I am the single recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Barnehurst. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in August. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be affected by that. Most lenders would take a sensible view as this clause is chiefly there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Coventry BS are being problematic. The Barnehurst solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Coventry BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS 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.
How does conveyancing in Barnehurst differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Barnehurst approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Barnehurst usually purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Barnehurst or who has acted in the same development.
