I require conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (five years old) in Childs Hill. Almost all the appartments have already been sold. Is it really necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Childs Hill?
If you are buying a property with the assistance of a loan, your lender will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Childs Hill conveyancing searches are optional. Your solicitor, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you insist that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you will need to swap to another solicitor for your conveyancing in Childs Hill.
It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Childs Hill completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 asset 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.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one close by in Childs Hill I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Childs Hill suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
