We are selling our house in Newington and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Newington conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Newington. Having lived in Newington for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
How does conveyancing in Newington differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Newington contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because house builders in Newington 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Newington or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Newington is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Newington are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Newington you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Newington 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.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Newington. Before I get started I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is registered - and most are in Newington - 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 have had difficulty in trying to purchase the freehold in Newington. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
if there is a absentee landlord or where there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the LVT to judgment on the amount due.
