Would the conveyancing solicitors that you recommend execute auction conveyancing in Moulton?
There are a few auction practitioners we can put you in touch with those who can conduct auction conveyancing. Moulton is one of the many locations where our lawyers have offices.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Moulton last October yet the purchaser is Skype messaging every few hours to moan that his solicitor is waiting to hear from myconveyancer. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?
Following your sale your conveyancer should send the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. Depending on the transaction, your conveyancer should also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been discharged to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities peculiar conveyancing in Moulton.
I am buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Moulton. Our aim is to an extension at the rear at the property.Will legal work on the property include checks to see if these works are permitted?
Your property lawyer should check the deeds as conveyancing in Moulton will on occasion identify restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of alterations or require the permission of another owner. Many additions call for local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be wise to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
It is unclear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Moulton building society branch on various occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Moulton conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
The solicitor has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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.
About to purchase flat in Moulton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Moulton lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel.
I have a semi-detached Georgian property in Moulton. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Virgin Money. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Moulton and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Moulton benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not inform my solicitor about this extras as it would put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Midway through the sale of a leasehold flat in Moulton. Conveyancing is fine but we have been asked to pay an extortionate amount from the landlord. So far we have issued a cheque for £275 for a leasehold management pack and then a further £200 plus VAT for answers to queries raised by the buyers property lawyer.
Neither you or your lawyer will have any impact over the level of the bill for this information however the average costs for the information for Moulton leasehold premises is £360. When it comes to Moulton conveyancing sales it is conventional for the owner to cover the charges. The freeholder or their agents are under no statutory obligation to answer these questions most will be content to do so - albeit often at high prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed fees for administrative tasks. Nor is there any legal time frame by which they are obliged to supply the information.
