Just acquired a terraced house in Dawlish , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My Dawlish conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are concluded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Dawlish registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any interested persons or bodies. As of today in the region of 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration is effected after the buyer has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not typically top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Dawlish I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Dawlish for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
I have been pointed in your direction by a number of estate agents in Dawlish to choose a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to market your services over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t offer any referral fee for sending work our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for purchase conveyancing in Dawlish. I have chance upon a web site which appears to be the ideal answer If there is a chance to get all this stuff completed via email that would be preferable. Should I be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
I am hoping to exchange soon on a garden flat in Dawlish. Conveyancing solicitors inform me that they are sending me a report within the next couple of days. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?
Your report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Dawlish should include some of the following:
-
Does the lease prevent you from renting out the flat, or working from home You should know whether the lease permits you to alter or improve aspects of the premises- you must know whether any restrictions applies to all alterations or limited to structural alteration, and whether consent is required Does the lease require carpeting throughout thus preventing wood flooring? Whether your lease provides for a sinking fund for major works? Additions to the premises
I inherited a ground floor flat in Dawlish, conveyancing was carried out February 2010. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Dawlish with over 90 years remaining are worth £186,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 per annum. The lease runs out on 21st October 2077
With 52 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £29,500 and £34,000 as well as legals.
The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
Would local authority consent be needed to convert a house into multiple flats in Dawlish? This has taken place to a house adjacent to my home in Dawlish and was ignorant of it happening until after the works were finished.
Planning Permission yes. Building Reg Approval yes.
