It is a dozen years since I purchased my house in Oakwood. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I can't find the deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the chances are that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Oakwood involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.
Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Oakwood. Conveyancing is necessary. What is next?
Having to all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you will need to choose a conveyancing lawyer quickly as you are facing a fast approaching a drop dead date to complete the property. All auction property will have a bespoke legal set of papers. This should include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. In the case of leasehold property the legal papers should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation pertinent to a leasehold property. You need to give this to the solicitor instructed by you ASAP. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
A colleague informed me that in purchasing a property in Oakwood there could be various restrictions affecting the ability to carry out external changes to the property. Is this right?
We are aware of a number of properties in Oakwood which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to perform external changes. Part of the conveyancing in Oakwood should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
We had chosen conveyancers with offices in Oakwood on the Aldermore solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me an additional fee for dealing with the Aldermore mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Aldermore?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer may charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Aldermore but by your Oakwood conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Aldermore panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
The deeds to my home can not be found. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Oakwood 4 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer will know precisely where to look for all the appropriate paperwork so you may purchase or sell your property without a hitch. Where copies are not available, your conveyancer can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your property.
