I am planning to move home in December. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in North Ockendon. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from your estate agent however this should only happen once the sellers solicitors inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be handed over. You can inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you choose a conveyancing in North Ockendon or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in North Ockendon.
My partner and I are at the point of looking at flats in North Ockendon and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a property lawyer in place at this point? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Clydesdale.
You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the EA. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Clydesdale, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
About to purchase flat in North Ockendon. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the North Ockendon conveyancer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
I have recentlybecome aware that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in North Ockendon for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of North Ockendon conveyancing specialists.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in North Ockendon I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in North Ockendon for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
I've found a house that seems to tick a lot of boxes, at a great figure which is making it more attractive. I have subsequently found out that it's a leasehold rather than freehold. I would have thought that there are particular concerns buying a house with a leasehold title in North Ockendon. Conveyancing advisers have not yet been instructed. Will they explain the issues?
The majority of houses in North Ockendon are freehold rather than leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area who can help the conveyancing process. We note that you are buying in North Ockendon so you should seriously consider looking for a North Ockendon conveyancing solicitor and check that they are used to dealing with leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the number of years remaining. Being a lessee you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want with the house. The lease comes with conditions such as obtaining the landlord’sconsent to conduct changes to the property. You may also be required to pay a contribution towards the maintenance of the communal areas where the house is located on an estate. Your solicitor will appraise you on the various issues.
Having spent years of dialogue we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in North Ockendon. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
