Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Canton?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Canton. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Canton I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Canton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

Am I right to be concerned about brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Canton conveyancing practice?

As is the case with lots of service providers, often recommendations from connections can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are many players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may suggest conveyancers to retain. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to select your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that the majority of banks specify a panel list of law firms you must use for the lender aspect of your home move.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we use the agent's recommended lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Canton

It is improbable the sellers are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is going to damage their objectives. Contact the owners directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your own,trusted Canton conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.

The lawyers carrying out our conveyancing in Canton has sent papers to review that indicate that the property is unregistered with epitome documents. Why is the property not registred at the Land Registry?

Whilst the vast majorities of properties in Canton are now registered with HMLR there are still some that are unregistered. Any property in Canton that has been purchased since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HMLR under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Canton property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Many Canton conveyancing solicitors should be capable of dealing with such matters but in the event that uncertainty prevails the prevailing proposition these days appears to be for the seller to undertake the registration formalities first and subsequently deal with the transfer to the buyer - this will predictably cause a drawn-out conveyancing.
