The Felinheli conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my purchase in Felinheli have suddenly shut down. I chose them because I needed a firm on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel and my previous Felinheli lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What are my options?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers should be in a position to help.
The deeds to our house are lost. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Felinheli 4 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
As long as you have a registered title the details of your ownership will be retained by HMLR under a Title Number. It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and get up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually hold a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for twenty pounds.
How does conveyancing in Felinheli differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Felinheli approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Felinheli typically buy the site, 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 conveyancers 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 Felinheli or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered 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. Felinheli is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Felinheli are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Felinheli you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Felinheli may determine 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 property.
Being a tenant I am on the hook for a maintenance fee for my appartment in Felinheli. Due to losing my job and other issues I fell behind with remittance. I negotiated a clearance plan but there remains a couple of outstanding as of today.
I now wish to sell and I am panicking this could hold me back if I have to settle the amount due now. Do I have to settle before - is this practicable?
It would be wise to speak with the property lawyer undertaking your Felinheli conveyancing but one option may be to arrange for the arrears to be transferred to the purchasers. The final price payable would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They could then pay the fees following completion of the purchase.
