It is a dozen years since I acquired my property in Pensysarn. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to locate the title deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a chance that the deeds will be kept by the lender or they may stored with the conveyancers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Pensysarn relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.
We are due to move house in April. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Pensysarn. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the selling agent however this should only take place when the previous owners solicitors inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. You can inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Pensysarn or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Pensysarn.
We had appointed conveyancers located in Pensysarn on the Co-operative solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a supplemental fee for handling the Co-operative mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Co-operative?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer may levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Co-operative but by your Pensysarn conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Co-operative panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Pensysarn building society branch on various occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Pensysarn conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend based on their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the conveyancer is on the lender panel, they must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
The deeds to my home are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Pensysarn 4 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
Gone are the days when you need to hold title official documentation to evidence that you are the registered proprietor of land or premises, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Pensysarn is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Pensysarn are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Pensysarn you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Pensysarn may ascertain 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.
