I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and have to be out of my let out property in Grove by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Can I complete in three weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?
Generally one should not provide notice on a rental until you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not previously done so, update to your solicitor and request that they cajole the owners lawyers, try to an acceptable time-line that everyone will look towards
There are numerous conveyancing solicitors in Grove but how do I know who's good?
It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Grove conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.
I have paid off my mortgage with RBS. I assume I don't need a Grove property lawyer on the RBS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your RBS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the RBS mortgage from the register. RBS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where RBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- RBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Grove. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Most lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Grove I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Grove in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current 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. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
Am I right to be concerned by brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Grove conveyancing company?
As with many professional services, often input from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are numerous players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks might all recommend conveyancers to use. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the right to appoint your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that the majority of mortgage providers specify a panel list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your transaction.
In my capacity as executor for the estate of my father I am selling a property in Newport but I am based in Grove. My lawyer (based 260 miles from mehas requested that I sign a stat dec ahead of completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing solicitor in Grove who can witness this legal document for me?
Technically speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or qualified solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are based in Grove
