Completed the sale of my flat in Ulverston last March but the buyer keeps e-mailing every few hours to say her conveyancer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?
Following your sale your conveyancer should forward the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. If applicable, your conveyancer should also send confirmation that the home loan has been paid off to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion tasks just for conveyancing in Ulverston.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Bank of Ireland, do Ulverston lawyers incur an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
Can you point me to a directory of Skipton panel conveyancers in Ulverston on the Building Society Association’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association websites. Very few mortgage companies make their panel listings available on the web. Where you are looking for a Ulverston solicitor on the Skipton please use our facility.
We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Co-operative. Ulverston conveyancing lawyers are chosen. How long does it take for Co-operative to send the offer to the conveyancer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Co-operative done the survey? Have you informed Co-operative as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
Me and my brother purchased a terraced Victorian property in Ulverston. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Skipton Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Ulverston and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Ulverston ahead of retaining lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor advised that some lenders tend not grant a mortgage on such a property.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. If you call us we can investigate further with the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Ulverston. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
