Having sold my house in Crosby last March but our buyer keeps telephoning daily to say his conveyancer is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?
Following your house sale your solicitor should forward the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. If applicable, your conveyancer must also evidence that the home loan has been discharged to the buyers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures unique to conveyancing in Crosby.
We are purchasing a detached bungalow in Crosby. We would like to an extension at the rear at the property.Will legal investigations on the property involve investigations to see if these alterations are prohibited?
Your solicitor will check the deeds as conveyancing in Crosby will occasionally reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent certain works or require the consent of a 3rd party. Many extensions call for local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I can not fathom if my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Crosby bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Crosby conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they will not lend based on their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must comply with the CML Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Crosby. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Crosby conveyancer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
How does conveyancing in Crosby differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Crosby come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because developers in Crosby tend to 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Crosby or who has acted in the same development.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Crosby. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Crosby - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
