I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and must leave my rented flat in Tenbury Wells by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in six weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?
It is unwise to serve notice on a rental until your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not already done so, update to your solicitor and request that they cajole the sellers solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will work to achieve
It is a dozen years since I acquired my property in Tenbury Wells. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I can't track down my title documents. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be with your lender or they may be archived with the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly in most cases the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Tenbury Wells involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
The Tenbury Wells conveyancing lawyers that I recently instructed on my purchase in Tenbury Wells have suddenly closed. They were on acting for me because I needed a lawyer on the Aldermore conveyancing panel and my previous Tenbury Wells lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take £195 for searches. What are my options?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers should be in a position to assist.
My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Tenbury Wells. Conveyancing is needed. What is next?
Now that you are legally committed yourself to purchase you will need to choose a conveyancing solicitor as a matter of urgency as you are faced with a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the conveyancing. An auction property will have a corresponding legal set of papers. This should include evidence of title and search results. If you have purchased leasehold property the conveyancing papers should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation relating to leasehold premises. You must pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that you have funds in place to complete on the on the contractual date .
We previously appointed conveyancing lawyers located in Tenbury Wells on the Santander solicitor panel. They have just billed me a further charge for handling the Santander mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Santander?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer is entitled to charge a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Santander but by your Tenbury Wells property lawyer. Some firms on the Santander panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices include it on their overall fee.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. I assume I don't need a Tenbury Wells lawyer on the Bank of Ireland panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Bank of Ireland mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Bank of Ireland mortgage from the register. Bank of Ireland, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Bank of Ireland has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Bank of Ireland has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Tenbury Wells is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Tenbury Wells are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Tenbury Wells you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Tenbury Wells 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.
