Me and my fiancee are buying our first property. The solicitor has calledto check if we want to purchase supplemental conveyancing searches. We are really unsure what's recommended for conveyancing in Fenton
The number and type of Fenton conveyancing searches should be dictated primarily on the premises, the location, the possibility of any of these risks, your familiarity of the region and risks, your general approach to risk. What is important is that you adequately comprehend what information the searches could supply. Then you can make a decision if you personally think you need that search. Should you be uncertain, ask the lawyer to explain.
I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Fenton for our house purchase. Our broker informed us that our mortgage company Platform Home Loans Ltd won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
Lenders in the main imposes restrictions either the category or the volume of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a firm must not be a sole practitioner. In addition to restricting the profile of firm, some have decided to limit the amount of firms they use to represent them. Be aware that Platform Home Loans Ltd have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Platform Home Loans Ltd Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels since 2008 even though there are mixed opinions regarding the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry indicate that hundreds of law firms, including some in or near Fenton only perform one or two conveyances a year.
I am buying a new build flat in Fenton. Conveyancing is necessary evil 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 is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Fenton
-
The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. 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. 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. Please supply a car parking plan.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Fenton is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Fenton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Fenton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Fenton may ascertain 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.

My wife and I have recently had an offer accepted on a apartment and had an appointment on Wednesday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They advised me that when it comes to choosing a conveyancing practitioner that if they are not on their approved list of conveyancers then we will have to pay out an extra charge of £200. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to appoint a solicitor to act for them in addition to the one we appoint on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their fees. I have asked Leeds Building Society to provide me with a list so I can request estimates only from their approved lawyers but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a list online?
You should ask Leeds Building Society what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the solicitor of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for Leeds Building Society before. If the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Leeds Building Society. Alternatively please make use of our search tool and we may be able to identify a solicitor in Fenton on the approved list for Leeds Building Society.
