Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wymondham

My wife and I are approaching an exchange on a flat in Wymondham and my mum and dad have sent the exchange deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now told that as the deposit has not come from me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I advised the mortgage company regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?

The property lawyer is obliged to clarify with the bank to make sure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your lender if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I am the registered owner of a freehold premises in Wymondham but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Wymondham and has limited impact for conveyancing in Wymondham but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence after 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

My wife and I purchasing a detached bungalow in Wymondham. We would like to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will legal due diligence on the property involve checks to see if these works are permitted?

Your solicitor will review the deeds as conveyancing in Wymondham can on occasion identify restrictions in the title documents which prohibit certain changes or require the consent of another owner. Some works need local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

Is it the case that all Wymondham conveyancing solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As solicitors, in order to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some mortgage companies do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

How can we tell if a Wymondham conveyancing solicitor on the HSBC panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Wymondham getting recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advise that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your conveyancing.

My partner and I are selling our property in Wymondham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a national conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Wymondham. We have lived in Wymondham for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? 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)

The deeds to our property can not be found. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Wymondham 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?

Assuming you have a registered title the details of your proprietorship will be recorded by HMLR with a Title Number. It is possible to carry out a search at the Land Registry, find your property and obtain up to date copies of the property title 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.

Is there a reason that Wymondham conveyancing fees are more expensive for leasehold and freehold properties?

There is always increased work necessary for leasehold conveyancing. Wymondham has many leasehold properties. There is more hours involved in the purchase: for example, the lease and leasehold information (including current service charge, ground rent and buildings insurance details) obtained from the freeholder or managing agents. There are strict criteria that the lease must meet in order to be acceptable to a mortgage company. If it does not meet these requirements, the lease must be amended, which can involve additional expense for the seller.
