Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Limbury

I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and must be out of my let out property in Limbury by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in 5 weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?

The normal practice is not to provide notice for your lease unless you have exchanged. Assuming that you have not already done so, update to your lawyer and request that they cajole the sellers lawyers, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will look towards

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Limbury. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Limbury?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

Intending to buy a apartment in Limbury. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Limbury property lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

After shopping around on the internet I have found a Limbury conveyancer having made sure that they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Nationwide will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Nationwide will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Limbury surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

What will a local search reveal about the property we're purchasing in Limbury?

Limbury conveyancing often commences with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company such as Xpress Legal The local search plays a central part in most Limbury conveyancing purchase; that is if you wish to avoid any nasty surprises after you move into your property. The search should supply information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 topic areas.

My wife and I have a terraced Victorian house in Limbury. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and TSB. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. Is it worth asking TSB to clarify?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for 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 Limbury 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 check the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.

I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for remortgage conveyancing in Limbury. I happened to discover a web site which appears to be the ideal answer If it is possible to get all the legals completed via web that would be ideal. Should I be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor flat in Limbury. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just received a yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the maintenance contribution as you normally would because all rents and service payments should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

I invested in buying a split level flat in Limbury, conveyancing formalities finalised 4 years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent flats in Limbury with a long lease are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2093

You have 67 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £10,500 and £12,000 plus professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
