Having sold my house in Shirley last June but my buyer keeps texting me complaining that their conveyancer is waiting to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?
Following your sale your conveyancer should send the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. If applicable, your conveyancer must also evidence that the home loan has been discharged to the purchasers solicitors. There are no post completion steps just for conveyancing in Shirley.
Should commercial conveyancing searches reveal impending roadworks that may affect a commercial estate in Shirley?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Shirley will conduct a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers invest in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Shirley. The report sets out definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Shirley.
For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Shirley it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately could cause delays to Shirley commercial conveyancing transactions as well as pose a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not ordered for domestic conveyancing in Shirley.
My wife and I purchased a terraced Edwardian house in Shirley. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and HSBC Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. Is it worth asking HSBC Bank to clarify?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Shirley and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the position with the conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.

Expecting to exchange soon on a studio apartment in Shirley. Conveyancing lawyers have said that they will have a report out to me tomorrow. What should I be looking out for?
Your report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Shirley should include some of the following:
-
Rent payments - what is due and what the invoice dates are, and be on notice if this will change in the future Responsibility for repairing the window frames The landlord’s rights to access the property. You should be made aware that your landlord has rights of access as well as be informed how much notice must be provided. Does the lease require carpeting throughout thus preventing wood flooring? You should receive a copy of the lease
After months of correspondence we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Shirley. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
if there is a absentee landlord or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to assess the price.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Shirley residence is 29 Woodstock Road in April 2014. the Tribunal determined that the premiums to be paid into court in respect of the purchase of the freehold registered at HMLR under Title N0.SY3997 should be £7,217. This case related to 4 flats. The unexpired term was 98 years.
My lawyers in Shirley have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. To assist with my purchase I took out a mortgage with the bank. Is it case that being on the lender conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?
It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the mortgage company Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the mortgage company directly.
