Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bosham

I am acquiring a property mortgage free in Bosham. I have resided for the last 15 years in Bosham. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?

If you not getting a mortgage, then almost all of the Bosham conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she is duty bound to do this. Do take into account; if you are intend to dispose of the house in the future, it will be of relevance to your prospective purchaser what the searches reveal. Sometimes houses with functional issues can still throw up unexpected search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Bosham will provide you some sensible guidance in this regard.

How up to date is your database of Bosham solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel? Do Virgin Money send you an updated list?

Bosham conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Virgin Money directly.

Various online forums that I have come across warn that are the primary cause of stalling in Bosham conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Bosham.

I am buying a new build apartment in Bosham. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Bosham

    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. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Bosham I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Bosham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

I wish to sublet my leasehold flat in Bosham. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?

Some leases for properties in Bosham do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Bosham - Sample of Queries before buying

    It would be sensible to find out as much as possible about the company managing the building as they can either make life much simpler or uncomfortable. As the owner of a leasehold property you will be at the mercy of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to practical matters such as the upkeep of the common parts. Enquire of other people if they are happy with them. On a final note, investigate as to the dates that the service fees are due to the relevant party and specifically what you get for your money. What is the yearly service fee and ground rent?
