Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Shanklin

I have just been advised by my financial adviser that my Shanklin lawyer is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. What can I do to be sure if this is correct?

The first thing you need to do is to contact your Shanklin lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to inform you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Shanklin conveyancing firm that is on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.

The Shanklin conveyancing firm handling our Shanklin conveyancing has uncovered a discrepancy between the information in the valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor has advised that he must ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s course or action legitimate?

Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

I am selling our property in Shanklin and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Shanklin lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Shanklin. We have lived in Shanklin for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Shanklin. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Shanklin

    Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Shanklin I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Shanklin suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
