I am purchasing a house and the conveyancer has mentioned Chancel Repair for which the house could be liable given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. She has mentioned insurance. Is this really appropriate for conveyancing in Gateshead
Unless a previous acquisition of the property took place post 12 October 2013 you may expect lawyers handling conveyancing in Gateshead to continue to propose a a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
Have purchased a a terraced house in Gateshead , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register my title? My Gateshead conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the land registry aspects are concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Gateshead is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the property thus registration formalities is not always primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I am buying a new build house in Gateshead with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not inform my lawyer about this extras as it would put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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 flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Gateshead I like with open areas and station nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Gateshead suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass 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.
My husband and I are 14 days into a residential purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the selling agent to perform conveyancing in Gateshead. I am not happy. Could you help me find new lawyers?
They would have to be really bad to suggest replacing them. Has your loan offer been sent? In the event that it has you will need to make them aware of the new contact details and ensure the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. The solicitor ideally should be on the lenders approved list to avoid supplemental costs and frustration. That should be your starting point.
