Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Chipstead

Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Chipstead. Please explain the reason why all Chipstead conveyancers are not on all lender panels?

Even though it may seem unfair for lenders to restrict who can act for them, from the public’s or solicitor’s point of view, the the contrary view is that lending institutions are becoming ever more anxious and regard it necessary to protect them from mortgage fraud. As a consequence of this concern mortgage companies have reduced their panel of approved conveyancing lawyers to a size that they are happy to control.

Due to complete my purchase in Chipstead next Friday. My lawyer now wants me to supply her with evidence of content and building insurance for the property as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the mortgage company. What risks does the lender expect the insurance to cover?

All property lawyers on acting for lenders would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook instructions. These requirements are not unique to conveyancing in Chipstead.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the process as a first time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Chipstead. Do I pick up the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Chipstead?

On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Chipstead. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.

We are buying a terrace house in Chipstead. We would like to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will the conveyancing process include investigations to see if these alterations are prohibited?

Your property lawyer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Chipstead can occasionally reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prevent categories of alterations or require the consent of a 3rd party. Some extensions require local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. It would be prudent to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

The deeds to my home are lost. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Chipstead 5 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?

Assuming the title is registered the details of your proprietorship will be evidenced by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and get current copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases retain a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Chipstead I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Chipstead in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
