I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel solicitor as I would prefer to appoint a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Bromham?
You should check but the chances are that give you one of their panel lawyers where you take up the "fee-free" deal. Call the bank and check if they allow a cash alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Bromham.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Bromham 4 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
As long as the title is registered the information relating to your ownership will be documented by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is easy to execute a search at the Land Registry, find your property and get current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.
How does conveyancing in Bromham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Bromham approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because builders in Bromham tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Bromham or who has acted in the same development.

It is highly unlikely the sellers are behind this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Bromham conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Bromham. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Bromham - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Plenty Bromham leasehold properties will have a service charge for the upkeep of the building levied on behalf of the management company. Should you acquire the apartment you will have to pay this liability, usually periodically accross the year. This can differ from a couple of hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for large purpose-built buildings. There will also be a ground rent to be met annual, this is usually not a significant sum, say approximately £50-£100 but you need to check it because on occasion it could be many hundreds of pounds. On the whole the cost for major works tend not to be incorporated into the service charges, although there some managing agents in Bromham obliged leaseholders to contribute towards a reserve fund created for the specific purpose of establishing a fund for larger repairs or maintenance.
