A friend advised me that if I am purchasing in Parsons Green I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
This is a search is occasionally quoted for as part of the standard Parsons Green conveyancing searches. It is a large report of about 40 pages, listing and setting out significant information about Parsons Green around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Parsons Green Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Parsons Green Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about Parsons Green.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house can not be found. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Parsons Green 4 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?
Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will know exactly where to locate all the appropriate documentation so you may buy or dispose of your property without any difficulty. Where duplicates are not available, your solicitor can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on your premises.
I am purchasing a new build house in Parsons Green with a loan from Nottingham Building Society. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about the deal as it would put at risk my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Parsons Green is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Parsons Green are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Parsons Green 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 Parsons 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.
As co-executor for the estate of my grandfather I am disposing of a house in Cardiff but reside in Parsons Green. My lawyer (based 250 miles from meneeds me to execute a statutory declaration prior to completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Parsons Green who can witness and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you are not likely to be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Parsons Green based
