Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hanham

My uncle advised me that in buying a property in Hanham there could be a number of restrictions limiting what one can do in terms of external alterations to the property. Is this right?

There are a number of properties in Hanham which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to perform external variations. Part of the conveyancing in Hanham should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

I am the only beneficiary of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Hanham. The Hanham property was put into my name in August. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in August. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this requirement principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.

My wife and I have organised a further advance on our home loan from Skipton as we wish to conduct alterations to our property in Hanham. Are we obliged to appoint a bricks and mortar Hanham solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel to handle the legals?

Skipton would not normally instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Hanham prior to instructing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor has said that some lenders may not grant a loan on such a property.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions from Halifax. If you contact us we can look into this further via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Hanham. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business offices in Hanham and how can your lawyers assist?

The 1954 Act affords protection to commercial lessees, giving them the a statutory right to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing practices who use the act for protection and help with commercial conveyancing in Hanham

My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the estate agent informed us that the seller will only move forward if we instruct the agent's chosen solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Hanham

We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to instruct your own,trusted Hanham conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.

What makes a Hanham lease problematic?

Leasehold conveyancing in Hanham is not unique. All leases are unique and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain clauses are not included. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

    A duty to insure the building

A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Yorkshire Building Society, Barnsley Building Society, and Britannia all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the buyer to pull out.
