We are buying a property and the lawyer has identified Chancel Repair for which the house may be obligated to contribute to as it falls into the area of such a church. She has mentioned insurance. Is this really required for conveyancing in Markyate
Unless a previous acquisition of the premises took place after 12 October 2013 you can expect conveyancing practitioners handling conveyancing in Markyate to continue to propose a a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.
It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Markyate completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Markyate differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Markyate come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because builders in Markyate usually buy 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Markyate or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Markyate I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Markyate for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
