We are planning to move home in September. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Sheffield. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across this page.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from your property agent however this can only take place when the vendors lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. After that you will need to advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Sheffield or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Sheffield.
How can we tell if a Sheffield conveyancing solicitor on the RBS panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Sheffield getting recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always suggest that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your conveyancing.
We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Principality as we wish to carry out alterations to our home in Sheffield. Do we need to select a high street Sheffield solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Principality would not normally instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Principality conveyancing panel.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Sheffield?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Sheffield. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
How does conveyancing in Sheffield differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Sheffield approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Sheffield tend to buy the site, 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 Sheffield or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Sheffield I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Sheffield suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

The lawyers handling our conveyancing in Sheffield has forwarded documents to review that reveal that the property is unregistered with epitome documents. Why is the property not registred at HM Land Regsitry?
Although the vast majorities of properties in Sheffield are now registered with the Land Registry there are still some that are unregistered. Any property in Sheffield that has been purchased since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HMLR under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Sheffield property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Sheffield conveyancing solicitors should be capable of dealing with this type of conveyancing but in the event that uncertainty prevails the conventional advice nowadays is for the current owners to address the registration formalities first and subsequently deal with the disposal - this will have a knock on effect to result in a prolonged conveyancing.
