Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Oakwood

I have been told that property searches are the main cause of delay in Oakwood conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Oakwood.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Oakwood with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not inform my lawyer about the deal as it may affect my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Oakwood prior to instructing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor advised that some lenders tend not grant a loan on such a house.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to call us we can investigate further via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Oakwood. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Oakwood especially if they are accustomed to such properties in Oakwood.

Am I better off to instruct a Oakwood conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? We have a good friend who can perform the legal formalities but they are based over three hundred kilometers drive away.

The benefit of a high street Oakwood conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to sign documents, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were impressed that must surpass using an unknown Oakwood conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being local.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Oakwood. Before diving in I would like to find out the remaining lease term.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Oakwood - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details 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.

Leasehold Conveyancing in Oakwood - Sample of Queries Prior to buying

    You should be aware if it is less than 80 years it will impact the salability of the apartment. It is worth checking with your bank that they are happy with remaining years on the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely require a lease extension at some point and you need to have some idea of how much this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would be required to have been the owner of the premises for a couple of years before you are entitled to exercise a lease extension. Please inform me if there are any major works in the planning that will likely increase the maintenance costs?

My conveyancing in Oakwood is completing next Friday, yet the couple I am purchasing from has asked to move out the next day at at 2pm. Should I agree to such a idea?

It is not possible to complete on a Saturday due to the bank systems aren't operating.
