My partner and I are purchasing residence in Horsford. My Solicitor is not on the mortgage company conveyancing list. Am I still permitted to appoint my Horsford conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the mortgage company list of approved lawyers?
One will need to use a conveyancing practitioner to complete the formalities if you require a loan to purchase your property. They will carry out all the relevant due diligence on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. You could appoint a Horsford property lawyer of your choosing. Nevertheless, if the conveyancing practitioner selected is not a member of the bank conveyancing panel further fees will be levied as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so provided your conveyancer has not historically applied for membership they should take the chance to apply.
Last October we completed a house move in Horsford. We have noticed several problems with the property which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Horsford?
The question is not clear as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Horsford. Conveyancing searches and investigations undertaken as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller answers a questionnaire called a SPIF. answers is incorrect, you could possibly take legal action against the seller for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Horsford.
Me and my brother own a renovated Victorian property in Horsford. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Horsford and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
How does conveyancing in Horsford differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Horsford come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because builders in Horsford typically buy the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Horsford or who has acted in the same development.
