Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hurstpierpoint

I was told yesterday by my mortgage broker that my Hurstpierpoint property lawyer is not on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be sure whether this is correct?

Your first step should be to call your Hurstpierpoint conveyancer. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Hurstpierpoint conveyancing practice that is on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.

This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as a 1st time buyer of a garden flat in Hurstpierpoint. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Hurstpierpoint?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.

I am aiming to move house in May. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Hurstpierpoint. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across this website.

On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from the property agent however this can only happen when the sellers conveyancers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. Subsequently you should advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Hurstpierpoint or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Hurstpierpoint.

It is not clear whether my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Hurstpierpoint bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Hurstpierpoint conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?

Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the mortgage company panel, they must comply with the CML Handbook specifications for the bank. 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 lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Hurstpierpoint. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Hurstpierpoint

    Please supply a car parking plan. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Hurstpierpoint I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hurstpierpoint for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

I am a sole trader wishing to lease a unit on the high street. Can you recommend lawyers offering no-sale-no charges for non-domestic conveyancing in Hurstpierpoint for under 2k?

We can recommend firms who have an in-depth of experience of commercial conveyancing in Hurstpierpoint, including the disposal and acquisition of businesses as well as simply property. If you are intending to buy or sell a shop, pub, restaurant, office, retail unit or a whole business we can find you the right lawyer. Regarding the costs this will depend on the structure and nuances of the deal. Let us have your details or email so as to enable us to provide you with a detailed commercial conveyancing quote.

Been reading online that Hurstpierpoint solicitors are more costly than licensed conveyancers in Hurstpierpoint to use when buying a property. So is it better if I use a conveyancer or a solicitor where I am buying for my home move in Hurstpierpoint.

When it comes to conveyancing in Hurstpierpoint the costs are unlikely to vary dramatically depending on whether the legal expert is a licenced conveyancer or solicitor.
