I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. Blackwall conveyancing solicitors have been selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Co-operative?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Co-operative done the survey? Have you informed Co-operative as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
The mortgage over my property is with Leeds Building Society for my property in Blackwall. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Leeds Building Society?
Leeds Building Society must be informed of your intention prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Leeds Building Society’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Leeds Building Society will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Leeds Building Society directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel firm.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Kent Reliance are being problematic. The Blackwall solicitor who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Kent Reliance are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Kent Reliance have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Kent Reliance have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Kent Reliance 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.
Will our lawyer be raising enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Blackwall.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Blackwall. Some people will buy a property in Blackwall, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that can be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will figure out the risks in Blackwall. The standard completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard inquiry of the seller to discover if the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser could commence a claim for damages as a result of such an inaccurate response. The buyer’s lawyers may also carry out an environmental report. This should disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be made.
About to purchase a new build apartment in Blackwall. Conveyancing is daunting 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 conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Blackwall
-
Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
What does commercial conveyancing in Blackwall cover?
Blackwall conveyancing for business premises incorporates a wide array of services, offered by regulated solicitors, relating to business premises. By way of example, this type of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more usually, the assignment of existing leases or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial mortgages and the termination of tenancies.
Am I best advised to appoint a Blackwall conveyancing solicitor based in the location that I am hoping to buy? An old friend can perform the legal formalities but his firm is located over three hundred miles drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Blackwall conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to sign documents, hand in your ID and pester them where appropriate. Having local Blackwall know how is a bonus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have instructed your friend and they were impressed that must surpass using an unknown Blackwall conveyancing solicitor just because they are local.
