Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Calne

A relative suggested that where I am purchasing in Calne I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

A search of this type is sometimes quoted for as part of the standard Calne conveyancing searches. It is not a small report of about 40 pages, listing and detailing important information about Calne around the property and the people living there.

3 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Calne completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

How does conveyancing in Calne differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Calne come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because house builders in Calne tend to buy the land, 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 property lawyers 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 Calne or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Calne I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Calne suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

If you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for purchase conveyancing in Calne. I happened to stumble across a web site which appears to be the perfect answer If there is a chance to get all the legals done via phone that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?
