This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Henbury. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Henbury?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Henbury. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Lloyds have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Lloyds your lawyer must follow the formal instructions contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Lloyds. The CML Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Lloyds where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Henbury.
I have instructed a Henbury lawyer having made sure that they are on the Principality conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Principality will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Principality will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Henbury postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Principality, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Henbury.
I got the keys to my home on 13 June and my personal details is yet to be registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Henbury expressed confidence that it would be recorded inside ten days. Are transfers in Henbury particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Henbury registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any other parties. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected once the buyer is living at the premises so post completion formalities is not typically top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Henbury prior to appointing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor advised that some lenders may not give a loan on this type of house.
It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements for example to Nationwide. Should you wish to call us we can check with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Henbury. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
