Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Woodthorpe

Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Woodthorpe is more expensive?

Woodthorpe leasehold conveyancing transactions usually involve additional investigations than freeholds including investigating the Lease, liaising with the Landlord such as serving appropriate notices on the Landlord or managing agent, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining Landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts and formation documents.

My partner and I are selling our property in Woodthorpe and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Woodthorpe lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a web based conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Woodthorpe. Having lived in Woodthorpe for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You must enquire of 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 ailment)

I have justbeen informed that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Woodthorpe for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I establish that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?

The easiest method to see if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Woodthorpe conveyancing specialists.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Woodthorpe benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my lawyer about this deal as it would impact my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Woodthorpe is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?

Flying freeholds in Woodthorpe are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Woodthorpe you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Woodthorpe 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 premises.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of apartments in Woodthorpe which have approximately 50 years unexpired on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?

There are plenty of short leases in Woodthorpe. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As the lease gets shorter the saleability of the lease reduces and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is often a good idea to extend the lease term. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage companies may be reluctant to lend money on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We advise that you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.

Woodthorpe Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - A selection of Questions you should ask Prior to Purchasing

    How is the lease structured? Its a good idea to discover as much as possible about the managing agents as they will affect your use and enjoyment of the property. Being a leasehold owner you are often at the mercy of the managing agents from a financial perspective and when it comes to every day issues such as the tidiness of the communal areas. Ask other people what they think of them. On a final note, investigate as to the dates that the maintenance fees are due to the relevant party and specifically what you get for your money.
