Having been recommended your site we were about to appoint conveyancing solicitor in Leamouth endorsed by you but have come across alternative estimates via the web seem less expensive – why is this?
You can find plenty of websites advertising pretending to offer cut-price conveyancing, but supplementalcharges end up with the final invoice markedly uplifted. Solicitors ought to ensure costs listed in terms of engagement should be equitable raised The solicitors that we put forward for conveyancing in Leamouth clearly state all charges for the property you intend tobuy.
My husband and I are refinancing our penthouse in Leamouth with RBS. We have a son 19 who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the property is repossessed. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this form unique to the RBS conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we bought 3 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?
First, rest assured that your RBS conveyancing panel solicitor is doing the right thing as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to RBS. This is solely used to protect RBS if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of RBS had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.
It is 10 years ago since I purchased my property in Leamouth. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Leamouth relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house can not be found. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Leamouth 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?
Gone are the days when you need to have the physical deeds to evidence that you own the land or premises, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
