Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Little Oakley

My partner and I are purchasing a newly built duplex in Little Oakley and my conveyancer is telling me that she has to the bank to reveal incentives from the seller. I am under pressure to exchange contracts and I would rather not prolong deal. is my lawyer playing by the book?

You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.

It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in Little Oakley. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I can't locate the title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the mortgage company or they could still be with the conveyancers who acted in the purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Little Oakley involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house can not be found. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Little Oakley 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?

These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will be aware exactly where to look for all the appropriate documentation so you may buy or sell your house without any difficulty. If duplicates can’t be found, your solicitor can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against future claims on your property.

I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Little Oakley prior to appointing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend not grant a mortgage on a flying freehold property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different instructions for example to Nationwide. If you call us we can investigate further with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Little Oakley. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

Am I best advised to instruct a Little Oakley conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can handle the legal formalities but his firm is located 300miles away.

The primary upside of using a high street Little Oakley conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to execute paperwork, present your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a benefit. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and the majority were content that should outweigh using an unknown Little Oakley conveyancing lawyer just because they are round the corner.
