My husband and I have arranged the release of further funds on our home loan from Principality as we intend to carry out alterations to our house in Stilton. Do we need to choose a bricks and mortar Stilton solicitor on the Principality conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Principality do not ordinarily 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.
My wife and I are selling our house in Stilton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Stilton. We have lived in Stilton for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 sickness)
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Stilton is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Stilton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Stilton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Stilton may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
Our conveyancing in Stilton is completing this Friday, yet the sellers I am purchasing off wants to move out on the Saturday midday. Should I accept this?
