Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bounds Green

When it comes to lenders such as Skipton, do Bounds Green property lawyers have to pay a yearly amount to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Virgin Money are being problematic. The Bounds Green solicitor who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Virgin Money are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Virgin Money have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Virgin Money have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Virgin Money 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.

About to purchase apartment in Bounds Green. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nationwide 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 Bounds Green conveyancing practitioner is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.

Will my lawyer be raising enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Bounds Green.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors conducting conveyancing in Bounds Green. Some people will buy a house in Bounds Green, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that may be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Bounds Green. The conventional set of information given to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard question of the vendor to determine whether the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer could commence a claim for damages resulting from an incorrect answer. A buyer’s lawyers should also carry out an enviro report. This should indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be conducted.

I am employed by a busy estate agency in Bounds Green where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales derailed as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received inconsistent advice from local Bounds Green conveyancing solicitors. Can you clarify whether the seller of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.

An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
