Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Benton

Do I have to visit the offices of the solicitor to execute the legal charge? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Benton so that I can attend their offices if necessary.

Whereas this was necessary 12 years ago, most lenders no longer require their conveyancing panel solicitor to witness the borrowers signature. It will still be necessary for you to hand over identification documents and there are still manifest advantages to using a locally based ayer, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Benton.

Do commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that could affect a commercial land in Benton?

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Benton will order a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers expend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Benton. The report sets out definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Benton.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Benton it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately may cause delays to Benton commercial conveyancing deals as well as pose a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not conducted for residential conveyancing in Benton.

I completed on my apartment on 1 July and my personal details are still not registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Benton advises it should be registered in less than a month. Are properties in Benton particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in Benton is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any other parties. At present approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the property thus 'speed' is not usually an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

How does conveyancing in Benton differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Benton approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Benton usually buy 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Benton or who has acted in the same development.

I opted to have a survey done on a property in Benton before appointing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders tend refuse to issue a loan on such a premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can look into this further via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Benton. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

As a leasehold owner I am on the hook for a service charge for my appartment in Benton. Due to losing my job and other issues I slipped into arrears with remittance. The management company agreed a settlement plan but there remains a couple of currently outstanding.

I now wish to sell and I am concerned this will threaten to derail the sale if I have to pay off the arrears in advance. I'd like to sell up and subsequently discharge the debt from the proceeds - is this possible?

Do clarify with the conveyancer undertaking your Benton conveyancing but it may be possible to arrange for the outstanding amount to be passed to the buyers. The sale price payable would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They would then pay the outstanding monies once they are the owners.
