Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Thornaby

We opted for a Thornaby based firm for my conveyancing in Thornaby recently. Going through the Ts and Cs I noteI am on the hook for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to instruct an internet conveyancing company promising no completion no charge conveyancing in Thornaby?

It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to cover the conveyances that fail to complete. Dont forget that these schemes generally do not cover outlay by way of example Thornaby conveyancing search charges.

I am buying a property mortgage free in Thornaby. I have resided for the last 20 years in Thornaby. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?

In the absence of a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Thornaby conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your solicitor will try and steer you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he has a professional duty to take that path of guidance. Do consider; if you are intend to sell the house at a future date, it will be of importance to your future buyer what the searches disclose. Sometimes premises with day to day issues can still show up detrimental search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Thornaby should be able to give you some practical guidance in this regard.

It is is a decade since I bought my house in Thornaby. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I am unable to find my deeds. Is this a problem?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled your purchase. Secondly in most cases the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Thornaby relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

The deeds to my home are lost. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Thornaby 5 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?

Assuming you have a registered title the details of your proprietorship will be held by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and secure up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for a small fee.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Thornaby is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Thornaby are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Thornaby you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Thornaby 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.

In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial premises in Thornaby and how can you help?

The 1954 Act gives protection to business tenants, giving them the right to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing firms who use the act to your advantage and help with commercial conveyancing in Thornaby
