Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Peasedown St John

My partner’s brother is a conveyancer. I hope that I will receive mate’s pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of fees would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Peasedown St John?

My husband and I intend to remortgage our maisonette in Peasedown St John with Co-operative. We have a son approaching twenty who lives at home. Our solicitor requested us to identify any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the apartment is forfeited by the lender. I have two questions (1) Is this form unique to the Co-operative conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we purchased 4 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this compromise his rights to inherit the property?

On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Co-operative. This is solely used to protect Co-operative if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Co-operative had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Peasedown St John. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Peasedown St John?

On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Peasedown St John. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home.

I have justbeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Peasedown St John for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Peasedown St John conveyancing specialists.

I opted to have a survey carried out on a house in Peasedown St John prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may refuse to give a loan on this type of house.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Nationwide. If you call us we can check with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Peasedown St John.
