The deeds to my house can not be found. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Hagley 5 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?
Assuming the title is registered the details of your proprietorship will be documented by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to perform a search at the Land Registry, find your property 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 file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for a small fee.
I am purchasing a new build house in Hagley with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my lawyer about the side-deal as it would impact my mortgage with Santander. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Hagley is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Hagley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Hagley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hagley 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 property.
My cousin has recommend that I instruct his conveyancers in Hagley. Should I use them?
No doubt the best way to select a conveyancing lawyer is to seek recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor that you are considering.
