Recently asked questions about conveyancing in New Milton

I chose a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in New Milton recently. Reviewing the Terms and Conditions I seeI am liable for costs even if our purchase aborts. Would I be best advised to select a web based solicitor practice promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in New Milton?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be higher to cover those transactions that fail to complete. You should be mindful that these arrangements generally do not cover disbursements for example New Milton conveyancing search fees.

Last January we completed a house move in New Milton. We have since encountered a number of issues with the house which we consider were omitted in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been carried out as part of conveyancing in New Milton?

The query is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in New Milton. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a property owner answers a document known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information proves to be misleading, then you may have a claim against the owner for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in New Milton.

New Milton conveyancing often starts with the submitting local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search organisations for instance Searches UK The local search is essential in every New Milton conveyancing purchase; as long as you don’t want any unpleasant surprises after you move into your property. The search should provide data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 topic sections.

I purchased a semi-detached Victorian house in New Milton. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Leeds Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. Is it worth asking Leeds Building Society to clarify?

You should assess 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 New Milton 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 lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in New Milton. 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 legal work.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in New Milton. Before diving in I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.

Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in New Milton - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I invested in buying a garden flat in New Milton, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in New Milton with a long lease are worth £211,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease expires on 21st October 2093

With 68 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £9,500 and £11,000 plus legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
