I just acquired a property at auction in New Rossington. Conveyancing is required. What happens now?
Now that you are to in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you must choose a conveyancing practitioner soon as you will have a tight deadline in which to complete the transaction. Every auction property will ordinarily have an associated auction pack. This will likely include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. In the case of leasehold property the auction papers should provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing documentation pertinent to leasehold premises. You need to hand this to the solicitor instructed by you at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that your finances are in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nationwide. New Rossington conveyancing lawyers are instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Nationwide?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Nationwide conducted the survey? Have you informed Nationwide as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Leeds Building Society are being difficult. The New Rossington solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Leeds Building Society are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Leeds Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Leeds Building Society may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in New Rossington?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in New Rossington. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
How does conveyancing in New Rossington differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in New Rossington approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because house builders in New Rossington usually acquire 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 New Rossington or who has acted in the same development.
We are contemplating choosing a web based property lawyer rather than a New Rossington conveyancing practice. Should I ‘stay local’?
