I am in the market for a reasonably priced conveyancer. Should I go for for a national conveyancer or a family Braunstone conveyancing lawyer?
Existing third party connections are another important factor to consider when choosing conveyancing lawyers. Braunstone conveyancers benefit from long term relationships with financial advisers and agents, local authorities, valuers and other conveyancing firms meaning you will move in shortest possible time. Possessing years of insight into the local area is an advantage.
I require conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (five years old) in Braunstone. 95% of the appartments are already sold. Is it strictly necessary to order local searches as part of conveyancing in Braunstone?
A big part of the Braunstone legal transfer of property is the conveyancing searches. There are numerous search providers conducting Braunstone conveyancing searches, as well direct from the local authority. These are known collectively as personal search companies due to them carrying out, personal searches. However, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must secure their data from the local authority.
Me and my brother own a renovated Victorian house in Braunstone. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Braunstone and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Braunstone. 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 conveyancing.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Braunstone
-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Braunstone ahead of appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor advised that some banks may not grant a mortgage on this type of premises.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different requirements for example to Nationwide. If you e-mail us we can investigate further with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Braunstone. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
