A friend advised me that in buying a property in Oswestry there could be a number of restrictions prohibiting external changes to a property. Is this right?
There are anumerous of properties in Oswestry which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to perform external variations. Part of the conveyancing in Oswestry should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
My conveyancer has informed me that lack of right of way insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Oswestry conveyancing?
The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Birmingham Midshires and Barnsley Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with TSB. Oswestry conveyancing practitioners have been appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from TSB?
There is no definitive answer here. Have TSB done the valuation? Have you informed TSB as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the TSB conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I know that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to take this when buying a property in Oswestry? or I am told that there is historic law that could mean that owners of property living in a parish church boundary will be compelled to contribute towards maintenance to the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this suitable for conveyancing in Oswestry?
Unless a previous purchase of the property completed post 12 October 2013 you could expect lawyers handling conveyancing in Oswestry to continue to suggest a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Oswestry is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Oswestry are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Oswestry you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Oswestry 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.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Oswestry. Before I get started I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Oswestry - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars 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.
Oswestry Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - A selection of Questions you should consider before buying
-
Does the lease include onerous restrictions? What is the annual maintenance fee and ground rent? What is the the remaining lease term?
I pay a maintenance fee for my flat in Oswestry. As a result of poor financial planning I fell into arrears with remittance. I negotiated a clearance schedule but there remains about £3000 currently due.
I now wish to sell and I am concerned this could threaten to derail the sale if I have to discharge the amount due now. I'd like to sell up and then discharge the arrears from the proceeds - is this achievable?
Do check with the solicitor dealing with your Oswestry conveyancing but it may be possible to agree for the arrears to be passed to the purchasers. The sale price payable would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They could then pay the fees following completion of the purchase.
