Having sold my house in Meltham last November but my buyer keeps calling me to moan that his conveyancer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?
Post completion of your disposal your lawyer is committed to forward the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. If applicable, your lawyer should also confirm that the home loan has been repaid to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities unique to conveyancing in Meltham.
We're in Meltham, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is TSB , and our solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
I purchased a terraced Victorian house in Meltham. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and TSB. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Meltham and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
