Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Low Fell

My nephew is buying a newly built flat in Low Fell with a home loan from UBS. His conveyancer has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?

The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the UBS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the UBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Low Fell. Conveyancing is necessary. What is next?

Given that you are now exchanged you will need to choose a conveyancing solicitor quickly as you are facing a pending a fixed date to complete the deal. An auction property should have an associated auction set of papers. This will include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the conveyancing pack should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation specific to a leasehold property. You should pass this on to the conveyancer instructed by you at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that your finances are in place to complete on the date specified in the contract.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a 1st time buyer of a garden flat in Low Fell. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Low Fell?

On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Low Fell. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.

We previously chose conveyancers locally in Low Fell on the Bank of Ireland solicitor panel. They have just billed me a separate sum for dealing with the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Bank of Ireland?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Bank of Ireland but by your Low Fell conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

Drawing on our experience of conveyancing in Low Fell the following are instances of what can crop up and therefore affect the marketability of the property: Refused Planning Applications, Overdue Charges, Overdue Grants, Railway Schemes,...

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Low Fell is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?

Flying freeholds in Low Fell are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Low Fell you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Low Fell 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 premises.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Low Fell. Before I get started I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.

If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Low Fell - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
