Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Whitmore

My partner and I changing mortgage lender for our flat in Whitmore with Co-operative. We have a son 19 who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. The solicitor has now sent a form for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the property is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of concerns (1) Is this form unique to the Co-operative conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we remortgaged 4 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right to inherit the property?

On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Co-operative. This is solely used to protect Co-operative if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Co-operative had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

My flat in Whitmore is up for sale and I have a buyer. Will the lawyer need to be required to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently at the moment.

Do commercial conveyancing searches disclose planned roadworks that may affect a commercial property in Whitmore?

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Whitmore will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers invest in sourcing accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Whitmore. The search result provides definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Whitmore.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Whitmore it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site.

The deeds to our home are lost. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Whitmore 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?

Assuming the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be held by HMLR with a Title Number. It is possible to perform a search at the Land Registry, find your house and obtain up to date copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for twenty pounds.

I am looking for a flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Whitmore I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Whitmore for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for freehold conveyancing in Whitmore. I happened to chance upon a web site which seems to have the ideal solution If it is possible to get all formalities done via phone that would be preferable. Should I be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?

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?
