I instructed a Radstock based firm for my conveyancing in Radstock yesterday. After carefully reading the official terms of business it is apparent thatwe are liable for costs even if the sale doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to use an on-line conveyancing company promoting no completion no charge conveyancing in Radstock?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to offset those transactions that abort. You should be mindful that these promotions tend not to protect you from expenses such as Radstock conveyancing search expenses.
Completed the sale of my flat in Radstock last March but our buyer keeps e-mailing me to moan that their lawyer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?
Following your disposal your lawyer is duty bound to forward the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. Depending on the transaction, your lawyer should also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been paid off to the buyers conveyancers. There are no post completion requirements unique to conveyancing in Radstock.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Radstock?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Radstock. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Radstock is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Radstock are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Radstock you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Radstock 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.

The management company has quoted £372 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and previous years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Radstock?
Radstock conveyancing on leasehold flats often involves the buyer’s conveyancer submitting questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to respond to such questions most will be content to assist. They are entitled to charge a reasonable administration fee for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some transactions it is in excess of £800. The administration charge invoiced by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of rights and obligations in relation to administration fees, without which the charge is technically not due. Reality however dictates that you have little option but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to sell the property.
