My solicitor has informed me that lack of planning permission insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Ruddington conveyancing?
The right level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Ruddington. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their solicitor. I paid an on account payment of £150. Soon after, the lawyer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Aldermore panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
At last I have had an offer on a flat in Ruddington accepted, the sellers do nevertheless have a connected purchase. The owners have placed an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Ruddington. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Skipton going?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Ruddington conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your lawyer is on the Skipton approved list. Concerning the next steps this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of buyers would apply for a home loan with Skipton and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with searches.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house can not be found. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Ruddington 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
As long as you have a registered title the information relating to your ownership will be retained by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, locate your house and obtain up to date copies of the property title for less than a fiver. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases retain a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.
How does conveyancing in Ruddington differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Ruddington approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because builders in Ruddington typically purchase the real estate, 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 property lawyers 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 Ruddington or who has acted in the same development.
