We're in Langley, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is UBS , and our solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
I am assisting my aunt sell her house in Langley. Will the conveyancing solicitor commission an EPC or do I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s remained a required component of selling a house. An energy performance certificate must be to hand prior to the property being advertised. It is not something that law firms ordinarily arrange. If you are instructing a Langley conveyancing solicitor they may be able to arrange energy assessments due to their contacts with long established local accredited person
My aunt informed me that in buying a property in Langley there may be various restrictions prohibiting external changes to the property. Is this right?
We are aware of a number of properties in Langley which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to execute external changes. Part of the conveyancing in Langley should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by TSB. Is it usual for TSB to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Langley is approved on their conveyancing panel? TSB have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for TSB to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the TSB conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
My wife and I purchased a renovated Victorian property in Langley. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should assess 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 Langley and other locations in 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 purchasers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Langley I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Langley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
I am in the market for an affordable conveyancing solicitor in Langley to assist me in selling my place. I am aware of the possibility of getting ripped off and there are plenty Langley conveyancing organisations to pick from...who's the best?
