Are the BSA planning on creating a searchable register to list law firms on the Loughborough BS conveyancing panel for instance in Greasby?
We are not aware of any intention on the part of the BSA to promote such a register.
I need some fast conveyancing in Greasby as I am faced with a deadline to complete in less than 3 weeks. Fortunately I do not require a mortgage. Can I avoid the conveyancing searches to save fees and time?
If.Given you are not obtaining a home loan you have the choice not to have searches carried out although no lawyer would advise that you don't. With plenty of history conveyancing in Greasby the following are examples of issues that can show up and therefore impact future mortgageability: Refused Planning Applications, Overdue Charges, Outstanding Grants, Railway Schemes,...
I have todayfound out that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Greasby for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I check that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to check if the property 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 Greasby conveyancing specialists.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Greasby I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Greasby in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension 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 speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
I have been recommended by a number of selling agents in Greasby to locate a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to offer your services rather than another?
We don’t make any commission for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
We have had DIP from Bank of Scotland who indicated that they will lend up to £300k. At what point do I need to instruct a solicitor for conveyancing? Greasby is where we plan to move to.
It would be wise to appoint a solicitor now requesting that they create a file on your behalf. This will facilitate: 1) the estate agent to issue a Sales Memorandum to the relevant parties 2) the seller’s lawyer to submit the draft contract. However, do not ask your lawyer to start searches until you receive your valuation report from Bank of Scotland and you are happy to proceed.
