I am buying a house for cash in Page Green. I have resided for the last dozen years in Page Green. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then almost all of the Page Green conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to do this. One thing to take into account; if you are likely to sell the house in the future, it will likely be be of interest to your prospective buyer what the searches determine. There are plenty of instances where properties with day to day issues can still show up adverse search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Page Green should be able to give you some helpful guidance here.
I am assisting my step-mother sell her house in Page Green. Does the conveyancing solicitor order an energy assessment or it is for the seller to see to?
After the demise of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates was left as a compulsory part of moving house. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand in advance of the property being marketed. It is not a task that lawyers ordinarily arrange. Where you are using a Page Green conveyancing practitioner they might help arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with long established local providers
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Page Green. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Page Green conveyancer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
My offer on a detached house in Page Green has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Page Green. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Co-operative started?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Page Green conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancer is on the Co-operative approved list. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Co-operative and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to press on with the conveyancing in Page Green.
We are intent on selling our house in Page Green and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Page Green. Having lived in Page Green for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Page Green took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Page Green is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Page Green are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Page Green 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 Page Green 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 residence.
