Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Launceston

Finally the sale completed on my house in Launceston last December yet the purchaser is texting daily to moan that his lawyer needs to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?

Following your house sale your lawyer is committed to forward the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. Depending on the transaction, your conveyancer must also evidence that the home loan has been repaid to the buyers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion steps specific conveyancing in Launceston.

We are intent on selling our house in Launceston and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Launceston conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Launceston. Having lived in Launceston for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of 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)

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Launceston?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Launceston. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Launceston. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Launceston

    Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? 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. Please provide 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.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Launceston is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Launceston are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Launceston you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Launceston may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

Taking into account that I will soon part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on a house in Launceston I wish to talk to a conveyancer about mytransaction prior to giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?

We could not agree more - we would be pleased to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the conveyancer who will be doing your property ownership legalities in Launceston.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important individual, not a file number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Launceston should be the figure that you are charged.
