Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Louth

The Louth conveyancing firm handling our Louth conveyancing has discovered a discrepancy between the information in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the legal papers for the property. My lawyer has advised that he must check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s approach appropriate?

Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

What happens if my solicitor is suspended from the HSBC Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Louth?

First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

How does conveyancing in Louth differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Louth come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because developers in Louth typically acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Louth or who has acted in the same development.

I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Louth before instructing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor advised that some lenders will not issue a mortgage on such a home.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different instructions from Halifax. If you contact us we can check via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Louth. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Louth especially if they are acquainted with such properties in Louth.

For the majority of leasehold sales in Louth conveyancing will involve, queries regarding the management of a building inevitably needing to be answered directly by the freeholder or its agent, this includes :

    Addressing pre-contract enquiries Where consent is required before sale in Louth Copies of the building insurance and schedule Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your solicitor will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Louth leasehold property is £350. For Louth conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are obliged to provide the information.
