Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Sunningdale

IfI was to purchase a freehold housein Sunningdale for cash and have no survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Sunningdale?

Any savings you would gain will be isolated to the disbursement for searches. The lawyer still got to do everything else - money laundering, liaising with the sellers solicitor, stamp duty return, register the property etc. A marginal saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage however it will not be significant.

What will a local search inform me about the property I am buying in Sunningdale?

Sunningdale conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company such as PSG The local search is essential in every Sunningdale conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any unpleasant once you have moved into your new home. The search will reveal data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 topic headings.

Just bought a semi-detached house in Sunningdale , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Sunningdale conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my ownership is recorded.

As far as conveyancing in Sunningdale registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of such applications are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Sunningdale is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Sunningdale are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Sunningdale you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sunningdale may ascertain 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 premises.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business property in Sunningdale and how can you help?

The 1954 Act gives security of tenure to commercial lessees, giving them the right to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing solicitors who use the act for protection and handle your commercial conveyancing in Sunningdale

I work for a busy estate agent office in Sunningdale where we have experienced a number of leasehold sales jeopardised due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received contradictory information from local Sunningdale conveyancing solicitors. Please can you confirm whether the seller of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the buyer?

As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.

Alternatively, it may be possible 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 purchaser.
