In the event thatI were to buy a simple residential housein Nelson mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no local authority searches how much could I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Nelson?
The sole reduction in fees you would make on is the Nelson conveyancing searches. Your conveyancing practitioner is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with your vendors conveyancing practitioner, stamp duty return, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not having to register a mortgage but it will not be significant.
It is a dozen years since I bought my house in Nelson. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't track down my title documents. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Nelson relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.
I am buying a new build flat in Nelson. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Nelson
-
The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Nelson is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Nelson are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Nelson you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Nelson may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
My uncle has urged me to instruct his conveyancers in Nelson. Do I take his guidance?

I have just started marketing my ground floor apartment in Nelson. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently had a quarterly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you clear the maintenance contribution as usual as all rents and service invoices should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
