A colleague advised me that in buying a property in Marlow there may be a number of restrictions preventing external changes to the property. Is this right?
There are anumerous of properties in Marlow which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to carry out external alterations. Part of the conveyancing in Marlow should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Marlow building society branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Marlow conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the conveyancer is on the bank panel, she or he must comply with the CML Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nottingham. Is it usual for Nottingham to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Marlow is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nottingham have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nottingham to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
The deeds to my home are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Marlow 5 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
Assuming the title is registered the details of your ownership will be documented by HMLR with a Title Number. It is possible to carry out a search at the Land Registry, find your house and secure current copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases retain a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for a small fee.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Marlow. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Marlow
-
The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.

We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent has warned us that the seller will only proceed if we instruct the agent's preferred solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Marlow
We suspect that the owner is not behind this request. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Marlow conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
I previously informed by my mortgage company that their panel lawyers operate no sale no fee basis for conveyancing in Marlow. I had a purchase abort yet the solicitors want search fees! They say the fees are nothing to do with their fees!
By promising "no completion no fee" Marlow conveyancing firms are writing off their charges for any work done. We must stress this is NOT an insurance scheme. Disbursements aren’t covered – where the lawyer have to pay money out to other people, e.g. Marlow local search fees
