My friend recommended that where I am purchasing in Gospel Oak I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
A search of this type is occasionally included in the estimate for your Gospel Oak conveyancing searches. It is not a small report of more than thirty pages, listing and setting out significant information about Gospel Oak around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Gospel Oak Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime details, Gospel Oak Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information regarding Gospel Oak.
It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Gospel Oak concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Gospel Oak is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Gospel Oak are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Gospel Oak you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Gospel Oak 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 residence.
How does one as executor remove a departed person's name from the title register for a property in Gospel Oak?
If a Gospel Oak property is jointly owned and one of the proprietors dies, their name will not immediately be removed from the title deeds. You are not required to amend the title as when it comes to a disposal you would just need to evidence as to the reason the co owner is not included in the conveyance, normally this is in the form of the probate documents.
With the aim of making the sale conveyancing simpler for the sale of the property you may arrange to have the deceased name removed from the title entries by applying to HMLR with proof of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
