My brother and I have just purchased a house in Great Missenden. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? Can you clarify the type of searches that should have been ordered for conveyancing in Great Missenden?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Great Missenden. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner completes a questionnaire referred to as a SPIF. If the information provided is misleading, you could possibly take legal action against the seller for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Great Missenden.
It is a dozen years since I purchased my house in Great Missenden. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I can't track down my title deeds. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by your lender or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Great Missenden involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
We had instructed conveyancers locally in Great Missenden on the Barclays solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a supplemental sum for dealing with the Barclays mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Barclays?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer is entitled to charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Barclays but by your Great Missenden lawyer. Some firms on the Barclays panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.
I am expecting a OIP from Barclays this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Barclays recommend any Great Missenden solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Great Missenden solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Barclays conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Barclays through the process.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Yorkshire BS are being pedantic. The Great Missenden solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Yorkshire BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
About to purchase a new build flat in Great Missenden. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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 legal work.
Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Great Missenden
-
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. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.
Looking for a conveyancing solicitor in Great Missenden. I did have one sorted but they are not on the panel for Bank of Ireland. It would appear that these days most lenders only allow conveyancing practitioners on their panel. Extremely annoying restricting the choice for the paying public. Please can you suggest a trustworthy Great Missenden lawyer that would act for us as well as represent Bank of Ireland?
