We have very brash vendors who has suggested a exclusivity agreement with a down payment 10k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
Lock out contracts are contracts between a home owner and purchaser granting the buyer exclusive rights to purchase the premises for a limited period of time. For all intents and purposes, an exclusivity is a document stating that you should receive a contract at a later time which is the main conveyancing contract. It is generally used for buyer confidence though in some cases, the owner may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are various pros and cons to using an agreement but you need to check with your solicitor but note that it may result in incurring extra in conveyancing charges. For this these agreements are not popular in relation to conveyancing in Market Deeping.
My aunt passed away 10 months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Market Deeping. The house had a relatively small loan left on it of around £8000. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to HSBC, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
Given you intend to re-mortgage then HSBC will require that you use a conveyancer on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your HSBC conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the HSBC mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
I have justbeen informed that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Market Deeping for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I establish that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to see if the property 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 Market Deeping conveyancing specialists.
I was recommended by numerous property agents in Market Deeping to choose a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers over alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to make any financial incentive for directing people our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Market Deeping. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Market Deeping - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars 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.
