Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hoddesdon

I instructed a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Hoddesdon last week. After carefully reading the Ts and Cs I seewe are on the hook for fees even if our purchase doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to select an internet lawyer advertising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Hoddesdon?

Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to counteract those conveyances that abort. You should be mindful that these schemes rarely protect you from disbursements e.g. Hoddesdon conveyancing search expenses.

My fiance and I are refinancing our apartment in Hoddesdon with HSBC. We have a son 19 who lives at home. Our solicitor requested us to identify any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the apartment is repossessed. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this form unique to the HSBC conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we purchased 4 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?

First, rest assured that your HSBC conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to HSBC. This is solely used to protect HSBC if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of HSBC had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

How does conveyancing in Hoddesdon differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Hoddesdon contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because house builders in Hoddesdon usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Hoddesdon or who has acted in the same development.

I've found a house that seems to be perfect, at a great figure which is making it more attractive. I have subsequently discovered that it's a leasehold rather than freehold. I am assuming that there are issues purchasing a house with a leasehold title in Hoddesdon. Conveyancing advisers have not yet been instructed. Will they explain the issues?

Most houses in Hoddesdon are freehold rather than leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor used to dealing with such properties who can assist with the conveyancing process. It is clear that you are buying in Hoddesdon so you should seriously consider looking for a Hoddesdon conveyancing solicitor and be sure that they have experience in dealing with leasehold houses. First you will need to check the number of years remaining. Being a tenant you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want with the house. The lease comes with conditions for example obtaining the freeholder’sconsent to conduct changes to the property. It may be necessary to pay a service charge towards the upkeep of the communal areas where the house is part of an estate. Your lawyer should report to you on the legal implications.

Hoddesdon Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - Examples of Questions you should ask Prior to buying

    Who is in charge of the block? This information is helpful as a) areas could result in problems for the block as the communal areas may start to deteriorate where maintenance remain unpaid b) if the tenants have an issue with the managing agents you will need to have all the details You will want to discover as much as possible regarding the company managing the building as they will impact your use and enjoyment of the property. As the proprietor of a leasehold property you are often at the mercy of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to every day issues like the cleanliness of the common parts. Enquire of other tenants whether they are happy with their service. On a final note, find out the dates that the maintenance charges are due to the managing agents and precisely how they are spending the funds.
