I am purchasing a detached bungalow in Hemel Hempstead. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will the conveyancing process include checks to ascertain if these works are permitted?
Your conveyancer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Hemel Hempstead will occasionally reveal restrictions in the title documents which prohibit categories of works or necessitated the consent of a 3rd party. Certain extensions require local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
Does a directory service exist listing Lloyds panel conveyancers in Hemel Hempstead on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
No. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. Very few banks make their panel listings open the public online. If you are in need of a Hemel Hempstead conveyancing practitioner on the Lloyds please make the most of our tool.
I can not fathom if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Hemel Hempstead building society branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Hemel Hempstead conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Your conveyancing practitioner must follow the CML Handbook section two provisions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I am selling our property in Hemel Hempstead and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Hemel Hempstead conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a nationwide conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Hemel Hempstead. We have lived in Hemel Hempstead for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You need to 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)
Just bought a detached house in Hemel Hempstead , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my proprietorship? My Hemel Hempstead conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the post completion formalities are concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Hemel Hempstead is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies. At present approximately 80% of submission are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not usually primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Hemel Hempstead is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Hemel Hempstead are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Hemel Hempstead you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hemel Hempstead 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 residence.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Hemel Hempstead. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Hemel Hempstead - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
