Various internet forums that I have come across warn that are a common cause of stalling in St Annes conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in St Annes.
I have been recommended by a few estate agents in St Annes to choose a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your services over another?
We refuse to make any commission for sending work to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the property agent informed us that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct their preferred conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in St Annes
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the vendors directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to appoint your preferred St Annes conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will earn their estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.
I am employed by a busy estate agent office in St Annes where we have witnessed a number of flat sales jeopardised as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given contradictory information from local St Annes conveyancing firms. Could you confirm whether the owner of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
St Annes Leasehold Conveyancing - Examples of Questions you should ask before buying
-
Most St Annes leasehold apartments will be liable to pay a service charge for maintenance of the building levied on behalf of the freeholder. Should you acquire the flat you will have to meet this liability, normally periodically accross the year. This may differ from a couple of hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for bigger purpose-built blocks. In all probability there will be a ground rent for you to pay annual, this is usually not a large figure, say approximately £25-£75 but you need to check it because occasionally it can be many hundreds of pounds. Are there any major works in the planning that will likely increase the service fees?
