I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and have to vacate my rented property in Wrexham by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Can I complete in three weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?
The normal practice is not to serve notice for your tenancy until your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not already done so, notify to your conveyancer and urge them to they chase the sellers lawyers, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will look to achieve
My relative recommended that where I am purchasing in Wrexham I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
This is a search is usually quoted for as part of the standard Wrexham conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of about 40 pages, listing and setting out important information about Wrexham around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime details, Wrexham Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information about Wrexham.
It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Wrexham concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am purchasing my first flat in Wrexham with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent suggested that I not to tell my conveyancer about the deal as it could impact my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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 element on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Wrexham is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Wrexham are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Wrexham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wrexham may determine 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 residence.
