Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Cubitt Town

My lawyer has informed me that lack of building regulations insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Cubitt Town?

The right level of lack of building regulations indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and The Royal Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Kent Reliance. Cubitt Town conveyancing solicitors were selected. How long does it take for Kent Reliance to issue the offer to the solicitor?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Kent Reliance conducted the survey? Have you advised Kent Reliance as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in April 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Virgin Money are being problematic. The Cubitt Town solicitor who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Virgin Money are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Virgin Money have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Virgin Money have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Virgin Money 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.

A relative recommended that if I am buying in Cubitt Town I should ask my conveyancer to carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

This is a search is sometimes included in the estimate for your Cubitt Town conveyancing searches. It is not a small report of about 40 pages, listing and setting out significant information about Cubitt Town around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about Cubitt Town.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Cubitt Town 4 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?

You no longer need to hold title official documentation to prove you are the registered proprietor of land or property, as the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.

I'm refinancing my primary home to a BTL mortgage with The Royal Bank of Scotland and intend to use the remaining equity as a down payment on further house. The location we are talking about is Cubitt Town. Will your conveyancers be able to act for both sets of mortgage companies and tie in the two deals?

Do use our search tool on this page to be sure that the conveyancers are on the relevant lender panels. Having checked that they are the conveyancer will be able to connect the two deals but you should talk with you lawyer and make clear your expectations and needs.

I am looking at a couple of flats in Cubitt Town which have in the region of forty five years remaining on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?

A lease is a right to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease gets shorter the value of the lease reduces and results in it becoming more costly to extend the lease. For this reason it is advisable to extend the lease term. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage lenders may be reluctant to lend money on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this area.

We have reached the end of our tether in trying to purchase the freehold in Cubitt Town. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?

if there is a absentee landlord or where there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the LVT to calculate the premium.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a Cubitt Town flat is 12, 14 & 16 Hull Close in May 2010. the Tribunal determined that the premium payable for the acquisition of the freehold to the subject premises was the sum of £18,300 This case affected 3 flats. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 101.61 years.

Do online conveyancing organisations undertake everything a high street Cubitt Town solicitor does or do I still need to use a solicitor for the final stages for my conveyancing in Cubitt Town?

If you choose an online conveyancer they will cover all the things your Cubitt Town solicitor would cover.
