Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bruton

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Bruton? Why is this being asked of me?

To satisfy the Money Laundering Regulations any Bruton conveyancing firm will require proof of identity in all conveyancing matters. This is usually dealt with by provision of a passport and an original bank statement or utility bill showing your correct address.

Under Money Laundering Regulations, conveyancers are duty bound to check not only the ID of conveyancing clients but also the origin of fund that they receive in respect of any matter. Refusal to disclose this will result in your conveyancer terminating their relationship with you, as clearly this will cause a conflict between the set Regulations and a refusal to disclose.

Your conveyancers will have an obligation to notify the appropriate authorities should they believe that any monies received by them may contravene the Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Bruton is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Bruton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bruton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bruton may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

In surfing the internet for the term on line conveyancing in Bruton it shows results of numerous conveyancersin the area. How do I determine which is the right property lawyer for purchase transaction?

The best method of choosing the right conveyancer is via personal testimonial, so ask colleagues and family who have acquired a property in Bruton or a local estate agent or mortgage broker. Costs for conveyancing in Bruton differ, so it's sensible to request a minimum of four fee estimates from different companies. Dont forget to clarify what costs in the quote includes.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Bruton. Before I get started I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Bruton - 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.

I invested in buying a studio flat in Bruton, conveyancing having been completed 7 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar properties in Bruton with a long lease are worth £186,000. The ground rent is £55 per annum. The lease ceases on 21st October 2077

With only 52 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £29,500 and £34,000 plus costs.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

Do I stop the direct debit for my mortgage with Santander once a completion date for my sale in Bruton has been agreed?
