As someone not used to conveyancing in Coombe Warren what’s the number one tip you can impart concerning the ownership transfer in Coombe Warren
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Coombe Warren and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the house moving process. For instance, the seller, selling agent and on occasion your bank. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Coombe Warren is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the transaction whose role it is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest may attempt to convince you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your conveyancer is slow. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do something that is against your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Coombe Warren. Conveyancing is required. What are my next steps?
Having for in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you should instruct a conveyancing practitioner as a matter of urgency as you are facing a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the deal. Every auction property will ordinarily have a bespoke auction set of papers. This will include most,if not all of the documents that your conveyancer requires. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the conveyancing papers may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork pertinent to a leasehold property. You should hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I am the only recipient of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Coombe Warren. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in December. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be affected by that. Most banks would take a sensible view as this clause is chiefly there to pick up on subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
We are getting the release of further monies on our home loan from HSBC as we want to conduct alterations to our house in Coombe Warren. Do we need to appoint a bricks and mortar Coombe Warren solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
HSBC would not normally instruct a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the HSBC panel.
I own a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Coombe Warren. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Britannia. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Coombe Warren and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Coombe Warren with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not to tell my solicitor about the deal as it would impact my mortgage with Godiva Mortgages Ltd. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I am attracted to a two apartments in Coombe Warren both have about 50 years unexpired on the leases. should I be concerned?
There are no two ways about it. A leasehold apartment in Coombe Warren is a deteriorating asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The closer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it reduces the salability of the property. The majority of buyers and lenders, leases with under 75 years become less and less attractive. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a residence with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Coombe Warren conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. A more straightforward and quicker method of extending would be to contact your landlord directly and sound him out on the prospect of extending the lease. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord for a lease extension without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such issues? Can you recommend a Coombe Warren conveyancing firm to represent me?

This case related to 4 flats. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 98 years.
