Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Wanborough is not on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his work?
That is more than likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Wanborough conveyancing practice and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.
At what point does exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Wanborough and am I required to attend the conveyancers office?
Where you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Wanborough you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the firms we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the firm to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Wanborough)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a search tool with a view to list law firms on the Melton Mowbray Building Society conveyancing panel for instance in Wanborough?
We have not been informed any intention on the part of the BSA to develop such a tool.
I am buying a new build flat in Wanborough. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Wanborough
-
Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Please supply a car parking plan. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Wanborough I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Wanborough suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial property in Wanborough and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to gives a safeguard to business lessees, giving them the legal entitlement to apply to court for a renewal tenancy and remain in occupation at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
