I understand that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I need chancel insurance when buying a residence in Kenton? or I am told that there is a law dating back centuries that means some homeowners residing in a parish church boundary may be liable to contribute towards maintenance to the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this applicable for conveyancing in Kenton?
Unless a previous acquisition of the property completed post 12 October 2013 you could expect conveyancing practitioners conducting conveyancing in Kenton to continue to suggest a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.
five months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Kenton completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Kenton. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Kenton
-
Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the estate agent has warned us that the seller will only move forward if we instruct their recommended lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Kenton
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Kenton conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will give the estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by head office.
Why can I not complete my conveyancing in Kenton on a public holiday?
Because on completion the money needs to be transferred electronically between the banks of the purchaser and seller's conveyancing practitioner and currently this can only occur on a business day. So you can't complete on a saturday or sunday either.
