I have recentlydiscovered that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Finedon for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to see if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Finedon conveyancing specialists.
I'm purchasing a new build house in Finedon with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not inform my conveyancer about this deal as it could jeopardize my loan with Aldermore. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in Finedon I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Finedon suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

I own a leasehold house in Finedon. Conveyancing and Birmingham Midshires mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing solicitor in Finedon who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to be sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Finedon conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. You should note that in any event, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
Finedon Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - Sample of Questions you should ask Prior to buying

How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their maintenance charge payments? On the whole the outlay for major works are not incorporated into the maintenance charges, albeit that there some managing agents in Finedon obliged tenants to contribute towards a reserve fund created for the specific purpose of building a fund for major repairs or maintenance. Where a Finedon lease has no more than eighty years it will affect the marketability of the flat. Check with your mortgage company that they are content with the length of the lease. A short lease means that you will most likely require a lease extension at some point and it is worth discovering what this will be. Remember, in most cases you would be required to have owned the property for 24 months in order to be eligible to exercise a lease extension.
