Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Werrington is more expensive?
In summary, leasehold conveyancing in Werrington and Cambridgeshire usually involve more hours of investigation compared to freehold transactions. This includes analysing the lease terms, corresponding with the landlord concerning serving appropriate notices, obtaining current service charge and management information, procuring the landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – no matter how many different leaseholders have owned the lease since it was first entered into.
We are planning to move house in January. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Werrington. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from your estate agent but this can only happen once the previous owners lawyers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over. After that you should inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a particular removal organisation but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Werrington or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Werrington.
I am buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Werrington. The intention is to an extension at the rear at the house.Will legal due diligence on the property include checks to see if these works are allowed?
Your solicitor will check the deeds as conveyancing in Werrington can occasionally identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent certain changes or require the consent of another owner. Certain works require local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Werrington off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Kent Reliance. Conveyancing is new to me. 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 Kent Reliance, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
We are downsizing from our house in Werrington and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Werrington conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a national conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Werrington. Having lived in Werrington for three years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
How does conveyancing in Werrington differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Werrington approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Werrington tend to buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Werrington or who has acted in the same development.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
The conveyancers handling our conveyancing in Werrington has sent papers to review that indicate that the property is unregistered with epitome documents. How can it be that the property not yet recorded at HM Land Regsitry?
It is unusual for premises in Werrington to be unregistered. An 'epitome' is basically a dossier of photocopies of documents affecting an unregistered title. Plenty of Werrington conveyancing practitioners will be familiar with this type of conveyancing but in the event that uncertainty exists the standard advice nowadays appears to be for the seller’s conveyancer to register the title first and thereafter deal with the disposal - this can though naturally cause a significant delay.
