The owners have very assertive sellers who has insisted on a lock out agreement with a payment 10k. Is it wise to enter into such agreements?
Exclusivity agreements are agreements between a property owner and purchaser granting the buyer exclusive rights to the sale of the property for a certain period of time. For all intents and purposes, an exclusivity is a document specifying that you will have a contract at a later date being the main conveyancing contract. It is generally utilised for buyer assurance though in some cases, the seller may enjoy an upside from such agreements as well. There are numerous pros and cons to having them but you need to check with your lawyer but note that it may result in costing you more in conveyancing charges. For this these agreements are not popular in relation to conveyancing in Wadebridge.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Nottingham. I assume I don't need a Wadebridge lawyer on the Nottingham panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Nottingham 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 Nottingham mortgage from the register. Nottingham, 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 Nottingham has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Nottingham has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Coventry BS are being a right pain. The Wadebridge solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Coventry BS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS 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.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Wadebridge is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Wadebridge are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Wadebridge you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wadebridge 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 property.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Wadebridge. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Wadebridge - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
Wadebridge Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - Sample of Questions you should consider Prior to Purchasing
-
Many Wadebridge leasehold flats will incur a service charge for maintenance of the block set on behalf of the freeholder. Should you acquire the flat you will have to meet this amount, normally periodically throughout the year. This may vary from a couple of hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for large purpose-built blocks. In all probability there will be a rentcharge for you to pay yearly, this is usually not a significant sum, say around £25-£75 but you need to check as on occasion it could be many hundreds of pounds. On the whole the outlay for major works tend not to be included within maintenance charges, although a few managing agents in Wadebridge obliged leaseholders to contribute towards a sinking fund created for the specific purpose of establishing a fund for larger works. Can you inform me if there are any major works anticipated that will add a premium to the service charges?
