Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Northwich

Due to move into my new home in Northwich next Tuesday. My solicitor now wants me to supply her with proof of content and building insurance for the property as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the lender. What risks does the mortgage company expect the insurance to cover?

Any lawyer on acting for lenders would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property can not be found. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Northwich 5 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?

Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your solicitor will know exactly where to locate all the relevant documentation so you can buy or dispose of your house without a hitch.

How does conveyancing in Northwich differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Northwich contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Northwich typically buy the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Northwich or who has acted in the same development.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one close by in Northwich I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Northwich suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

Given that I will soon part with over three hundred thousand on 3 bedroom house in Northwich I would like to talk to a lawyer regarding thehouse move before appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?

Absolutely - we would be pleased to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the lawyer due to be doing your property ownership legalities in Northwich.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique person, not a case reference. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Northwich should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.

I am intending to let out my leasehold apartment in Northwich. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?

Even though your previous Northwich conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the property. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to seek permission from your landlord or some other party prior to subletting. The net result is that you cannot sublet without prior consent. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord for their consent.
