Me and my partner are about to complete on the purchase of a property in South Petherton but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the vendor in the sum of £2k by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement yet Santander are not allowing this. Should they have been approached?
The conveyancer that is on the Santander conveyancing panel is duty bound to advise Santander of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to report the price change to Santander then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Santander and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in South Petherton.
I own a freehold property in South Petherton but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?
It’s unusual for properties in South Petherton and has limited impact for conveyancing in South Petherton but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of new rentcharges post 1977.
Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 will be extinguished.
It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in South Petherton completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 property 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.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in South Petherton. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in South Petherton
-
The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. 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. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
I'm converting the mortgage on my current home to a buy to let loan with Nottingham Building Society and I will use the rest of the raised equity as a down payment on another house. The neighborhood we are talking about is South Petherton. Will your solicitors be able to act for both sets of lenders and tie in the transactions?
Do use our comparison tool on this page to be sure that the conveyancers are on the appropriate lender panels. Assuming that they are your lawyer should be able to simultaneously deal with the two conveyancing matters but you should talk with you lawyer and communicate your expectations and needs.
