I am planning to move property in February. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Reigate. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from your property agent however this should only occur when the sellers solicitors inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you should tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you find a conveyancing in Reigate or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Reigate.
Is there a list of Coventry BS panel solicitors in Reigate on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such tool on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of banks make their panel listings visible over the internet. If you are in need of a Reigate solicitor on the Coventry BS please make the most of our facility.
I am buying a property in Reigate. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Principality have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Principality your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Principality. The CML Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Principality where a lease fails to comply with these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Reigate.
Various internet forums that I have frequented warn that are the primary cause of hinderance in Reigate house deals. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the top 10 causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Reigate.
It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Reigate took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Reigate before instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor has said that some banks will refuse to grant a mortgage on such a premises.
It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can check via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Reigate. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Reigate to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
When it comes to leasehold conveyancing in Reigate what are the most frequent lease defects?
Leasehold conveyancing in Reigate is not unique. Most leases are individual and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain provisions are not included. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party. A duty to insure the building
A defective lease will likely cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Santander, Virgin Money, and Clydesdale all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to withdraw.

How much is the maintenance charge and ground rent on the property? Are any of leasehold owners in arrears of their service charge payments? It is important to be aware if fixing the lift or some other major work is pending to be shared between the leasehold owners and may well materially impact the level of the maintenance charges or require a specific invoice.
