Why do I have to pay up front for conveyancing in Roker?
If you are buying a property in Roker your solicitor will ask you to provide them with funds to cover the search fees. Generally this is requested to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. When the down payment is as part of the sale price then this should be asked for immediately before contracts are exchanged. The closing balance that is due will be payable shortly before completion.
Have purchased a a terraced house in Roker , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Roker conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the registration formalities are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Roker is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any other parties. Currently in the region of 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not typically primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Roker is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Roker are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Roker you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Roker may decide 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.
