I am in a contract race with another buyer for a property in Maxton. What can I do to speed up matters?
Where you are under time constraints to sign contracts it is advisable to make sure that your lawyer is familiar with the area as they will have local contacts and insight. It is even conceivable that they may have conducted otherhouses in the same road. You would be best advised to use a Maxton conveyancing solicitor. In addition, check that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is said that nearly one in five of Maxton conveyancing transactions are delayed or jeopardised after discovering a buyer’s solicitor was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. This can often result in the transaction being delayed by as much as 21 days. It is believed that this issue impacts approximately 100,000 home sales every year. Most Maxton conveyancing firms can not act for certain lenders so do check at the outset.

Given that you are now exchanged you will need to instruct a conveyancing lawyer quickly as you are facing a tight a fixed date to complete the purchase.

You should pass this on to the solicitor instructed by you at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that you have funds in order to complete on the date specified in the contract.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Maxton. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Virgin Money be concerned?
As your lender is Virgin Money your lawyer must check the formal instructions outlined in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Virgin Money. The CML Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Virgin Money where a lease does not meet these conditions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Maxton.
The deeds to my house are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Maxton 4 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?
As long as the title is registered the information relating to your ownership will be retained by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, find your property and obtain current copies of the property title for a small fee. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for a small fee.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Maxton I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Maxton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
