Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Earlestown

I am helping my aunt sell her property in Earlestown. Does the conveyancer arrange the energy assessment or it is for me to coordinate?

Following the demise of Home Packs, energy assessments was kept a required element of moving house. An EPC needs to be to hand in advance of the property being marketed. This is not something that solicitors normally organise. Where you are using a Earlestown conveyancing lawyer they might be willing to arrange EPC’s given their contacts with long established local providers

I am purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in Earlestown. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will legal investigations on the property include enquiries to see if these works are permitted?

Your property lawyer should check the deeds as conveyancing in Earlestown can on occasion reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain changes or necessitated the permission of another owner. Some works call for local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be wise to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Earlestown 4 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?

As long as the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be retained by HMLR with a Title Number. It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and secure up to date copies of the property title for a small fee. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for a small fee.

I'm buying my first flat in Earlestown with a mortgage from Bank of Scotland. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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%.

We are 14 days into a leasehold purchase having been referred to a firm by the estate agent to do our conveyancing in Earlestown. We are not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new solicitors?

What are the frequently found defects that you come across in leases for Earlestown properties?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Earlestown. All leases are unique and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain clauses are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts.

A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. National Westminster Bank, Bank of Scotland, and Platform Home Loans Ltd all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to withdraw.

I purchased a 1st floor flat in Earlestown, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in Earlestown with over 90 years remaining are worth £227,000. The ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease ends on 21st October 2097

You have 72 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as legals.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

My financial adviser has suggested using their conveyancer for my conveyancing in Earlestown - Surely it’s easier to just instruct them?

It is worth checking if the selling agent is recommending a solicitor or introducing to a property lawyer. There are plenty of Earlestown selling agents who recommend two or three Earlestown conveyancing firms and get nothing from it.
