I am purchasing a semi-detached house in Claverdon. Can I do my own conveyancing?
Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Claverdon you will have to appoint a solicitor on your mortgage company's conveyancing panel to look after their interests. Most people therefore find it easier to let the solicitor act for them and the lender. Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender. Please feel free to use the search tool to find a lawyer on your lender panel in Claverdon.
Just bought a semi-detached house in Claverdon , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Claverdon conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the registration is addressed.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Claverdon registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the buyer is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not usually top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Claverdon differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Claverdon come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in Claverdon usually 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 conveyancers 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 Claverdon or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Claverdon is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Claverdon are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Claverdon you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Claverdon may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial property in Claverdon and how can your lawyers assist?
The 1954 Act gives a safeguard to commercial leaseholders, granting the dueness to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

Being a leasehold owner I am on the hook for a maintenance contribution for my ground floor flat in Claverdon. As a result of personal circumstances I slipped behind with payments. The managing agents agreed a payment schedule but there remains around £1750 due to be paid.
I am under pressure to dispose of the property and I am worried this could jeopardize the sale if I have to pay off the arrears in advance. I'd like to sell up and then discharge the debt from the completion monies - is this practicable?
Do speak with the lawyer dealing with your Claverdon conveyancing but it may be possible to arrange for the outstanding amount to be transferred to the buyers. The sale price payable would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They could then pay the outstanding monies after completion of the purchase.
