I am about to exchange buying a property in East Ham but as a consequence of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have managed to agree reparation from the seller in the sum of three thousand pounds taking the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract however Bank of Ireland will not permit this. Should they have been informed?
Your lawyer that is on the Bank of Ireland approved list is required to inform Bank of Ireland of any changes to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the reduction to Bank of Ireland then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Bank of Ireland and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in East Ham.
I got the keys to my house on 12 May and my personal details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in East Ham advises it should be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in East Ham uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in East Ham registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any other persons or bodies. As of today in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in East Ham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in East Ham come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because new home sellers in East Ham typically acquire the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in East Ham or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. East Ham is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in East Ham are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in East Ham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in East Ham may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
