Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time buyer of a ground floor flat in Upper Tean. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Upper Tean?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Upper Tean. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Upper Tean off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Principality are being a right pain. The Upper Tean solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Principality are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Will my conveyancer be asking questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Upper Tean.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers dealing with homes in Upper Tean. There are those who buy a property in Upper Tean, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Lawyers are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that may be undertaken by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better appreciation of the risks in Upper Tean. The conventional set of information given to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the vendor to discover if the premises has historically flooded. If the residence has been flooded in past which is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer may issue a claim for damages resulting from an misleading reply. The purchaser’s lawyers should also order an environmental search. This will disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be made.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Upper Tean I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Upper Tean suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for sale conveyancing in Upper Tean. I have stumble upon a web site which appears to be the perfect offering If it is possible to get all this stuff completed via phone that would be preferable. Should I be concerned? What should out be looking out for?
