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. Harlow is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Harlow are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Harlow 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 Harlow 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 premises.
I am looking into buying my first house which is in Harlow and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Harlow. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Harlow area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?
Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Harlow. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found
My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent told us that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct the agent's recommended solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Harlow
We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your own,trusted Harlow conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide their estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by senior management.
I’m about to sell my basement flat in Harlow. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the maintenance contribution as normal because all rents and maintenance invoices will be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless 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.
I purchased a 1st floor flat in Harlow, conveyancing formalities finalised April 1995. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Similar properties in Harlow with over 90 years remaining are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease runs out on 21st October 2085
With just 59 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £20,900 and £24,200 plus costs.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
My conveyancers in Harlow have advised me that they can not locate my conveyancing file. To assist with my purchase I took out a mortgage with the lender. Is it case that being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?
Different lenders have different requirements but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the mortgage company Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the mortgage company directly.
