I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and must be out of my let out property in Woldingham by 30/4/2026. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. How realistic is it to complete in six weeks as don't want to have to move into short term accommodation?
The normal practice is not to provide notice on a rental until you have exchanged. If you have not already done so, notify to your lawyer and urge them to they cajole the other lawyers, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will work to achieve
I just bought a house at auction in Woldingham. Conveyancing is required. What are my next steps?
Now that you are exchanged you must choose a conveyancing practitioner soon as you now have a tight deadline in which to complete the conveyancing. Every auction property should have an associated auction set of papers. This should include most,if not all of the documents that your lawyer requires. If you have purchased leasehold property the conveyancing papers should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork specific to a leasehold property. You must pass this on to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. You also need to ensure that that you have the requisite funding in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I have paid off my mortgage with Kent Reliance. I assume I don't need a Woldingham lawyer on the Kent Reliance panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Kent Reliance 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 Kent Reliance mortgage from the register. Kent Reliance, 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 Kent Reliance has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Kent Reliance has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Aldermore are being problematic. The Woldingham solicitor who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Aldermore are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Aldermore have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Aldermore have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Aldermore 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.
The deeds to my property are lost. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Woldingham 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
Assuming the title is registered the details of your ownership will be evidenced by HMLR with a Title Number. It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and obtain current copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for £20 inclusive of VAT.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Woldingham is the location of the property. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Woldingham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Woldingham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Woldingham may decide 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.
