I have been told by my lawyer that flying freehold insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Hither Green conveyancing?
The right level of flying freehold indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Hither Green conveyancing practitioner having made sure that they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Virgin Money will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Virgin Money 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. You may wish to consider appointing your own Hither Green surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
Clydesdale have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a house in Hither Green has been accepted, what are the next steps?
The property agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s panel). Call up Clydesdale or your financial adviser and complete any appropriate paperwork. Clydesdale will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or vendor to schedule a time for the valuation to take place. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Clydesdale will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Hither Green.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Hither Green. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Hither Green
-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
My partner and I may need to sub-let our Hither Green 1st floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Hither Green conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Even though your last Hither Green conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can check your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The rule is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you need to obtain permission from your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of first obtaining permission. The consent should not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease prohibits you from subletting the property you should ask your landlord for their consent.
