My wife and I buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Leigh. The intention is to convert the garage to a playroom at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve checks to see if these works are permitted?
Your conveyancer should check the deeds as conveyancing in Leigh can on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain works or need the permission of a 3rd party. Some extensions require local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I am being advised by my lawyer that chancel insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Leigh conveyancing?
The appropriate level of chancel indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
The mortgage over my property is with RBS for my property in Leigh. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform RBS?
RBS must be informed of your intention prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of RBS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact RBS directly. You need not do this via a RBS conveyancing panel solicitor.
I am planning on selling our property in Leigh and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Leigh lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a web based conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Leigh. Having lived in Leigh for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? 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 illness)
I have recentlybeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Leigh for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I check that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to see if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Leigh conveyancing specialists.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Leigh is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Leigh are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Leigh you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Leigh 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 residence.
Back In 2009, I bought a leasehold flat in Leigh. Conveyancing and Platform Home Loans Ltd mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing practitioner in Leigh who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Leigh conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
