As someone clueless as to the Crook Log conveyancing process what’s your top tip you can impart concerning the legal transfer of property in Crook Log

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Crook Log or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. E.g., the vendor, property agent and on occasion a mortgage company. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Crook Log should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the process whose role it is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.

We are witnessing a definite increase in the "blame" culture- someone must be blamed for the process being so protracted. You your first instinct should be to trust your conveyancer above all other players in the conveyancing process.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Principality. I assume I don't need a Crook Log property lawyer on the Principality panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Principality mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Principality mortgage from the register. Principality, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Principality has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Principality has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Principality mortgage has been paid off.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Clydesdale are being a right pain. The Crook Log solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Clydesdale are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

three months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Crook Log concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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 have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Crook Log I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Crook Log for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

My in 2008. He has been married, widowed and has recently married again. He now intends to dispose of the Crook Log property. I believe he will just be need to provide a copy of his marriage certificates to the property lawyer however he is anxious it could frustrate the conveyancing. Should he appoint a solicitor to update the Land Registry details for the property?

It is not absolutely necessary to update the title for the property providing you have the evidence required to demonstrate how the change of name resulted.

Any purchaser’s conveyancing practitioner will examine the title details and requisition evidence to prove the change of name for instance marriage documentation.
