Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Oldland

Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Oldland who acted for me two years ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on the same type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a loan from Leeds Building Society. I am now being quoted twice the amount. Stick with what I know or should I seek out a cheaper internet conveyancer?

The estimate does seem a tad on the high side. Where you are willing to spend time contrasting charges you might reduce the fees marginally by as much as £100 plus VAT. That being said, assuming were satisfied with the assistance the firm gave you mightcome to regret opting for an a cheaper solicitor. Remember to check that the firm can also act for Leeds Building Society. You can make use of our search tool to get a quote a Oldland conveyancing firm on the Leeds Building Society member panel, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Oldland.

My conveyancer has identified a defect with the lease for the apartment we are purchasing in Oldland. The seller’s lawyers have put forward defective title insurance as a workaround. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our lawyer says that he must ensure that the mortgage company is happy with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the lender?

The short answer to your last question is that, notwithstanding the potential for a conflict of interest, you and the mortgage company are the client. Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions require your lawyer to disclose issues such as defects with the lease so that the lender can be afforded the opportunity to check with their valuer as to the extent that the value of the property is affected. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your conveyancer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Oldland , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Oldland conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my name is recorded.

As far as conveyancing in Oldland is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any interested parties. At present approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not always top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

About to purchase a new build flat in Oldland. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Oldland

    The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

Am I best advised to use a Oldland conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? An old friend can handle the conveyancing but they are based 200kilometers away.

The benefit of a local Oldland conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to sign documents, present your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and in the main were happy that should trump using an unfamiliar Oldland conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.

My intention is to purchase a garden maisonette in Oldland. Conveyancing lawyer is awaiting, from the vendor, building insurance schedule. This afternoon I was advised that the owner must send the insurance documents for the flat above in addition. Why does my solicitor want to review the insurance for the flat above? Is it really necessary? We have been in hold for the last fortnight…

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Oldland to discover Conveyancing in Oldland in a minority of cases reveals that the lease obliges the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats as opposed to the freeholder insuring the whole building - which is definitely preferable. Do clarify with your property lawyer but it would appear that your solicitor is attempting to verify that the whole building is insured. Insuring a ground floor flat is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be reconstructed for lack of insurance cover.
