I am hoping to complete my purchase in Hellesdon next Friday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the bank. What risks does the bank expect the insurance to cover?
Any lawyer on acting for mortgage companies would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. These obligations are not limited to conveyancing in Hellesdon.
We are looking to buy a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Hellesdon who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Nottingham . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Hellesdon.
This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a ground floor flat in Hellesdon. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Hellesdon?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Hellesdon. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
Please help - my lawyer advises that lack of building regulations insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Hellesdon?
The right level of lack of building regulations indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Santander and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
I am purchasing a property in Hellesdon. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Coventry BS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Coventry BS your lawyer must follow the formal requirements set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Coventry BS. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Coventry BS where a lease fails to meet these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Hellesdon.
I am planning on selling our property in Hellesdon and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Hellesdon. We have lived in Hellesdon for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
Just bought a terraced house in Hellesdon , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Hellesdon conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my name is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Hellesdon registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration occurs once the buyer is living at the property so registration formalities is not usually an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Hellesdon I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Hellesdon suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
