The Hanham conveyancing firm handling our Hanham conveyancing has spotted a discrepancy between the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer says that he needs to check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s course or action right?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Hanham 4 years ago have long since closed. What do I do?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your solicitor will know exactly where to look for all the relevant documentation so you may purchase or sell your house without any difficulty. If duplicates can’t be found, your conveyancer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on the property.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Hanham I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Hanham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
Am I best advised to use a Hanham conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can deal with the legal work but they are based a couple of hundredmiles drive away.
The benefit of a local Hanham conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to execute documents, hand in your ID and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have instructed your friend and on the whole were happy that must surpass using an unfamiliar Hanham conveyancing lawyer just because they are Hanham based.
I have just started marketing my ground floor apartment in Hanham. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the invoice as normal because all ground rent and service invoices should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
