  • 2 The organisations listed on our web pages have a variation of conveyancing lawyers, legal executives and support staff handling thousands of conveyancing matters each year.
  • 3 Olney solicitors are likely to have connections at the local Land Registry Office, Local Authority and selling agents
  • 4 The Olney conveyancing practitioners that we work with are dedicated to providing value for money, efficient and transparent conveyancing service to purchasers, sellers and investors in Olney
  • 5 Cut price packages from online conveyancers might be tempting. However, these companies are often located hundreds of kilometers away with limited understanding of the factors that impact property transactions in Olney

I am being advised by my solicitor that lack of right of way insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Olney?

The appropriate level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between National Westminster Bank and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

I happen to be the single recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Olney. The Olney property was put into my name in March. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in March. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be affected by that. How practical a view mortgage companies take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation is principally there to identify subsales or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.

I need some fast conveyancing in Olney as I am under pressure to sign on the dotted line inside 2 weeks. Luckily I do not need a mortgage. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?

As you are are a mortgage free purchaser you have the choice not to do searches although no conveyancer would recommend that you don't. With plenty of history conveyancing in Olney the following are examples of issues that can be revealed and therefore impact future mortgageability: Enforcement Notices, Outstanding Fees, Overdue Grants, Unadopted Roads,...

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Olney?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Olney. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I'm purchasing a new build house in Olney with a loan from Clydesdale. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about the extras as it may adversely affect my mortgage with Clydesdale. Should I keep quiet?.

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.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Olney is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?

Flying freeholds in Olney are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Olney you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Olney may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
