I can see plenty of here concerning conveyancing in Needham Market but what is your top tip for selecting the right conveyancer in Needham Market
Do not opt for the cheapest Needham Market conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I'm the sole beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Needham Market. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in November. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be considered the same way as though I had purchased the property in November. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. many banks would take a pragmatic view as this requirement is principally there to capture subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
When it comes to lenders such as Leeds Building Society, do Needham Market conveyancers have to pay a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I own a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Needham Market. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Bank of Ireland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Needham Market and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Needham Market. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Needham Market
-
The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Please supply a car parking plan. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Needham Market I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Needham Market suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

Is there a difference between surveying and conveyancing in Needham Market?
Conveyancing - in Needham Market or elsewhere - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are purchasing and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for reducing the price down or asking the vendor to fix the defects prior to you move in.
