Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hartford

Me and my wife are acquiring a ground floor flat in Hartford. My property lawyer is not listed on the mortgage company approved panel. Am I still permitted to continue with my Hartford conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

One will need to instruct a conveyancing practitioner to deal with the formalities if you require a loan to buy your home. They will carry out all the essential investigations on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in place. One could select a Hartford lawyer of your choice. Nevertheless, if the lawyer appointed is not a member of the mortgage company solicitor panel supplemental costs will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not previously sought membership they can do so.

Can I use your services to find a Conveyancing solicitor in Hartford even if I’m not buying or selling a house, for example if I intend to acquire an office in Hartford with a loan from Britannia?

Just bought a terraced house in Hartford , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Hartford conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain the registration is addressed.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Hartford registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the premises so post completion formalities is not always an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Hartford I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Hartford in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

I have been advised by a couple of local estate agents in Hartford to find a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to market your site ahead of a competitor’s?

We refuse to make any referral fee for directing people to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

As co-executor for the will of my uncle I am disposing of a house in Swansea but live in Hartford. My conveyancer (who is 235 kilometers from meneeds me to execute a stat dec before completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing solicitor in Hartford to attest and place their company stamp on the document?

Technically speaking you should not need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are based in Hartford
