Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Maulden

I have been told that property searches are a common cause of hinderance in Maulden house deals. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the common causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Maulden.

The deeds to our property can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Maulden 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?

You no longer need to hold title official documentation to evidence that you are the registered proprietor of land or property, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

How does conveyancing in Maulden differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Maulden come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because builders in Maulden tend to 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 Maulden or who has acted in the same development.

I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Maulden before appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor advised that some lenders will not grant a mortgage on such a property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different requirements for example to Halifax. If you contact us we can check via the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Maulden. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Maulden to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

Back In 2008, I bought a leasehold flat in Maulden. Conveyancing and Nottingham Building Society mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing solicitor in Maulden who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?

First make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to instruct a Maulden conveyancing firm to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

Maulden Leasehold Conveyancing - Examples of Queries Prior to buying

    Many Maulden leasehold properties will incur a service bill for maintenance of the building levied on behalf of the landlord. Should you buy the flat you will have to meet this contribution, usually quarterly throughout the year. This can be anything from a couple of hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for blocks with lifts and large communal areas. In all probability there will be a ground rent for you to pay yearly, normally this is not a large amount, say around £50-£100 but you need to enquire it because sometimes it could be prohibitively expensive. Please inform me if there are any major works anticipated that will increase the service charges?

Why is New Build conveyancing in Maulden more costly?

Acquiring a new build home is completely different from the standard house purchase conveyancing in Maulden. For a start housebuilders ordinarily demand contracts to exchange very quickly, so there is a lot of pressure on your lawyer to make sure everything is in order. Furthermore new build conveyancing often necessitate the checking of adoption of highways, drains, planning considerations, building warranties or architects certificates. Lenders obligations are also more demanding. Due to the complex nature of the process for these types of properties, the conveyancing new build fees are higher than normal.
