We are buying a 3 bedroom semi in Swanland. Our aim is to an extension at the rear at the house.Will legal work on the property involve checks to see if these works are allowed?
Your solicitor should review the registered title as conveyancing in Swanland can occasionally reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent certain works or require the consent of a 3rd party. Many extensions call for local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
Can you help - my lawyer says that lack of right of way insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Swanland conveyancing?
The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Birmingham Midshires and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Swanland 10 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
As long as the title is registered the information relating to your ownership will be held by HMLR with a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and order up to date copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for £20 inclusive of VAT.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Swanland is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Swanland are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Swanland you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Swanland 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 residence.
Me and my partner have just had an offer agreed on a property and had meeting on Wednesday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They have informed us that when it comes to choosing a lawyer that unless they are on their approved list of conveyancers then we will have to pay out a further fee of £250+. This is because they will then have to select a solicitor to act on their behalf as well as the one we select for ourselves and we are liable for their invoice. I have requested Leeds Building Society to send me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a list online?
Ask Leeds Building Society what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Then ask the property lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for Leeds Building Society previously. Where the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Leeds Building Society. Alternatively please utilise our search tool and we may be able to find you a conveyancer in Swanland on the approved list for Leeds Building Society.
