Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Netherne

What happens if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Barclays Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Netherne?

First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

How does conveyancing in Netherne differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Netherne contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because house builders in Netherne usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Netherne or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Netherne is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in Netherne are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Netherne you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Netherne may ascertain 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.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the agent has warned us that the seller will only proceed if we appoint the agent's chosen solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Netherne

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your own,trusted Netherne conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will provide the estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.

I have just started marketing my ground floor apartment in Netherne. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently received a quarterly service charge invoice – what should I do?

The sensible thing to do is pay the invoice as usual because all rents and maintenance invoices should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage 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 unless 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

My wife and I have hit a brick wall in negotiating a lease extension in Netherne. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?

if there is a missing freeholder or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the LVT to make a decision on the premium.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a Netherne residence is 223 Brighton Road in September 2013. The premium payable for the acquisition freehold of the properties should be £10,934 (Ten thousand,nine hundred and thirty four pounds) This case related to 3 flats. The remaining number of years on the lease was 75 years.
