Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Fakenham

Our Fakenham solicitor has identified a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor says that he needs to ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s stance correct?

Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

My grandfather passed away last year and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Fakenham. The house had a small mortgage left on it of around £4500. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to TSB, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?

Given you plan to refinance then TSB will require that you use a conveyancer on the TSB conveyancing panel.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Fakenham. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Fakenham

    Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Please supply a car parking plan. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.
