Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hartburn

As I am unsure how the conveyancing process works what is the most important number one tip you can give me regarding purchase conveyancing in Hartburn?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Hartburn or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the home moving process. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and even potentially a bank. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Hartburn is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the transaction whose interest is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.

Every so often a potential adversary will try and convince you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the estate agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your solicitor is slow. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do something that is against your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

My wife and I own a renovated Edwardian property in Hartburn. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Aldermore. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Aldermore to clarify?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Hartburn and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Hartburn I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hartburn suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
