Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Chiseldon

I am purchasing a house for cash in Chiseldon. I have resided for the last twelve years in Chiseldon. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I have knowledge of the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

In the absence of a home loan, then almost all of the Chiseldon conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he has a professional duty to do this. Do take into account; if you are intend to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your prospective buyer what the searches reveal. There are plenty of instances where premises with functional issues can still show up unpredicted search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Chiseldon will be able to give you some constructive guidance concerning this.

I am planning to acquire a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Chiseldon who is on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd conveyancing. Can you recommend a local firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Godiva Mortgages Ltd in certain locations such as Chiseldon. We dont recommend any particular firm.

I opted to have a survey carried out on a house in Chiseldon in advance of appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor has said that some lenders will refuse to issue a mortgage on this type of premises.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further via the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Chiseldon. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Chiseldon to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.

My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the estate agent informed us that the vendor will only go ahead if we use their recommended lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Chiseldon

It is improbable the owners are driving this. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Chiseldon conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by senior management.

Jane (my partner) and I may need to let out our Chiseldon ground floor flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Chiseldon conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?

Even though your last Chiseldon conveyancing solicitor is not available you can check your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the premises. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must obtain consent via your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without prior consent. The consent must not not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Chiseldon - A selection of Queries Prior to buying

    Most Chiseldon leasehold flats will be liable to pay a service bill for the upkeep of the building set on behalf of the landlord. Should you buy the flat you will have to meet this contribution, normally quarterly during the year. This could differ from two or three hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for buildings with lifts and large communal grounds. There will also be a ground rent to be met annual, this is usually not a large figure, say around £25-£75 but you need to enquire as occasionally it can be prohibitively expensive. How is the lease structured? Best to be warned if changing the roof or some other major work is due in the near future that will be shared by the leasehold owners and will dramatically increase the the service costs or require a specific payment.

I pay a service charge for my property in Chiseldon. Due to losing my job and other issues I slipped into arrears with payments. The freeholders agreed a payment schedule but there is still approximately £3000 currently outstanding.

I now wish to sell and I am worried this may hold me back if I have to discharge the amount due first. Do I have to settle before - is this practicable?

The solicitor dealing with your Chiseldon sale should be able to negotiate with the management company, and agree with them whether or not they would accept payment from completion monies. This is indicative of why it is advisable to appoint a solicitor in Chiseldon as they may well have a strong line of communication with the parties.
