The Roker conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my house acquisition in Roker have without warning shut down. I only went with them because I needed a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel and my previous Roker lawyer was not. I paid them 275 plus VAT in advance. What do I do now?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to help.
Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Roker , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My Roker conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my ownership is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Roker registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any third parties. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not always top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Roker differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Roker approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Roker usually acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Roker or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Roker I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Roker for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Roker. I happened to chance upon a web site which looks to be the perfect offering If there is a chance to get all the legals completed via email that would be preferable. Should I be wary? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
