Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Johnstown

Souldusing a Johnstown conveyancing practitioner make my purchase more efficient?

Established third party connections are another important factor to consider when appointing conveyancing solicitors. Johnstown conveyancers enjoy connections with mortgage brokers and selling, local authorities, surveyors and other law firms meaning the whole process is going to be much smoother for you. Hosting years of experience in the local area is an advantage.

I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and must vacate my rented flat in Johnstown by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. How realistic is it to complete in a couple of weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?

The normal practice is not to give notice for your lease until your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not previously done so, notify to your conveyancer and request that they seek the assistance the other solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will work to achieve

We are downsizing from our house in Johnstown and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Johnstown conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Johnstown. Having lived in Johnstown for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

I have a renovated Georgian house in Johnstown. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Halifax. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You should read 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Johnstown and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell 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 conducted the conveyancing.

How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial property in Johnstown and how can you help?

The 1954 Act gives a safeguard to commercial leaseholders, giving them the a statutory right to apply to court for a renewal lease and remain in occupation at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing solicitors who use the act to your advantage and help with commercial conveyancing in Johnstown

Am I best advised to choose a Johnstown conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can perform the conveyancing however they are based a couple of hundredkilometers drive away.

The primary upside of using a high street Johnstown conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, hand in your ID and pester them where appropriate. Having local Johnstown know how is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have instructed your friend and in the main were content that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Johnstown conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being based in the area.
