We are purchasing a house in Par. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we have to send our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I have been told by my solicitor that defective lease insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Par conveyancing?
The right level of defective lease indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Barclays and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
I happen to be the only recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Par. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in March. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the property in March. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs 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 bank as this requirement principally exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
I know that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I need chancel insurance when acquiring a property in Par? or I am told that there is an ancient law that means some house owners living in a parish church boundary may be liable to pay for repairs to the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this relevant for conveyancing in Par?
Unless a prior purchase of the premises completed post 12 October 2013 you can expect lawyers handling conveyancing in Par to remain recommending a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.
How does conveyancing in Par differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Par come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Par usually buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Par or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Par I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Par in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
