The Seven Sisters conveyancing firm that I appointed last week on my purchase in Seven Sisters have suddenly shut down. They were on acting for me because I had to have a firm on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel and my family Seven Sisters lawyer was not. I paid them 275 plus VAT in advance. What should be my next steps?
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 the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Coventry BS 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 solicitors may be able to assist.
It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Seven Sisters took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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 residence 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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Seven Sisters is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Seven Sisters are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Seven Sisters you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Seven Sisters 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.
Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Seven Sisters with the intention of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Seven Sisters can be bypassed if you get in touch lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ conveyancers. You believe that you know the number of years left on your lease but it would be wise to verify this by asking your lawyers. A buyer’s conveyancer will be unlikely to recommend their client to where the lease term is below 75 years. In the circumstances it is essential at an as soon as possible that you consider whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale. If you are supposed to have a share in the freehold, you should ensure that you are holding the original share document. Arranging a duplicate share certificate can be a time consuming formality and slows down many a Seven Sisters home move. Where a new share is needed, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if applicable) for this sooner rather than later. If you have carried out any alterations to the property would they have required Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Seven Sisters leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord approving such alterations. Where you dont have the paperwork in place do not contact the landlord without contacting your solicitor in the first instance. If you have had conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved before the property is marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be warry about purchasing a flat where there is a current dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and pay any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to present the dispute as over rather than unsettled.
