As a novice what is the most important piece of guidance you can give me concerning purchase conveyancing in Irchester?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Irchester and elsewhere in Northamptonshire is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the transaction. E.g., the seller, selling agent and on occasion a mortgage company. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Irchester is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose role it is to act in your best interests and to protect you.
On occasion a potential adversary may try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your lawyer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do something that is against your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
Should commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that may affect a commercial land in Irchester?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Irchester will order a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers expend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Irchester. The report sets out definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Irchester.
For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Irchester it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately could cause delays to Irchester commercial conveyancing deals as well as pose a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not carried out for domestic conveyancing in Irchester.
My wife and I have a semi-detached Edwardian property in Irchester. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Nationwide Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should assess 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 Irchester and other locations in 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 mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
How does conveyancing in Irchester differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Irchester contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because developers in Irchester 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 used to new build conveyancing in Irchester or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Irchester ahead of retaining solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders will not grant a loan on a flying freehold home.
It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different instructions from Halifax. If you e-mail us we can check via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Irchester. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
