My friend's mother is a property lawyer. I anticipate that I will be offered preferential rates for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what level of costs would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Lamorbey?
Do contrast pricing. Do use our search tool on this page. Whilst charges may vary but service levels do are distinct between solicitors as is the case with the vast majority of professional services.
My partner and I are selling our home in Lamorbey and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a national conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Lamorbey. Having lived in Lamorbey for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I have a renovated Georgian property in Lamorbey. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Barclays . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Lamorbey 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 purchasers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
How does conveyancing in Lamorbey differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Lamorbey approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Lamorbey usually purchase the site, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Lamorbey or who has acted in the same development.
I own a leasehold flat in Lamorbey. Conveyancing and Birmingham Midshires mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing practitioner in Lamorbey who previously acted has now retired. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to make sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. There is no need to incur the fees of a Lamorbey conveyancing practitioner to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
Notwithstanding our best efforts, we have been unsuccessful in trying to purchase the freehold in Lamorbey. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
Absolutely. We can put you in touch with a Lamorbey conveyancing firm who can help.
An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Lamorbey residence is 103a Footscray Road in January 2014. The tribunal determines that the premium payable for the extended lease should be £34,500 according to the expert witness valuation calculation This case was in relation to 1 flat.
Finally our conveyancing in Lamorbey completes on Friday, yet the vendors I am purchasing from wishes to vacate the next day at afternoon. Can I agree to such a plan?
It is not possible to complete on a Saturday because the bank systems aren't operating.
