About to purchase house in Bethnal Green. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Bethnal Green property lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
Will our conveyancer be asking questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Bethnal Green.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Bethnal Green. Plenty of people will buy a property in Bethnal Green, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous checks that may be initiated by the buyer or by their solicitors which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Bethnal Green. The conventional set of property information forms sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the vendor to find out whether the premises has historically flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser may bring a claim for damages as a result of such an incorrect response. The purchaser’s solicitors may also commission an environmental search. This should reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be carried out.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Bethnal Green. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Bethnal Green
-
The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Bethnal Green I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bethnal Green in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
