Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Stotfold is more expensive?
Stotfold leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Stotfold and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Stotfold conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Stotfold. Having lived in Stotfold for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I got the keys to my flat on 16 June and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Stotfold expressed confidence that it should be recorded inside ten days. Are titles in Stotfold uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Stotfold is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any 3rd parties. At present in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected after the buyer has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not usually primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
