It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in Salisbury. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to locate the title deeds. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they may still be with the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Salisbury relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
How does conveyancing in Salisbury differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Salisbury come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because house builders in Salisbury usually 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Salisbury or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Salisbury in advance of appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor advised that some lenders tend refuse to issue a mortgage on this type of home.
It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Salisbury. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Salisbury to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
