I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and have to vacate my let out flat in Grenoside by 27/10/2025. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. Is it possible to complete in three weeks as don't want to have to find temporary accommodation?
The normal practice is not to give notice on a rental unless exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not already done so, update to your conveyancer and request that they chase the owners side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will aim to achieve
This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a first time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Grenoside. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Grenoside?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I happen to be the only beneficiary of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Grenoside. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in August. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be caught by that. many mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this provision is chiefly there to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
Can you point me to a directory of Virgin Money panel conveyancers in Grenoside on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
No. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of banks make their panel listings viewable over the internet. If you are looking for a Grenoside solicitor on the Virgin Money please make the most of our tool.
Will our solicitor be making enquiries concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Grenoside.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Grenoside. There are those who purchase a property in Grenoside, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory insurance cover, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a various checks that may be initiated by the purchaser or by their solicitors which can figure out the risks in Grenoside. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the seller to find out if the premises has suffered from flooding. If the residence has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the owner, then a purchaser could commence a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect reply. The buyer’s lawyers will also carry out an enviro search. This will reveal whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be initiated.
The deeds to my home can not be found. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Grenoside 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?
As long as the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be evidenced by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to perform a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and get up to date copies of the property title for a small fee. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for a small fee.
