Having sold my house in Yatton last August but our buyer keeps SMS messaging me to say her lawyer needs to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
After completion of your disposal your solicitor is committed to forward the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. If applicable, your solicitor should also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been paid off to the buyers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities specific conveyancing in Yatton.
Various internet forums that I have frequented warn that are the main cause of delay in Yatton conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the top 10 causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Yatton.
The deeds to my home can not be found. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Yatton 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
In today’s world there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will be aware exactly where to find all the relevant documentation so you can buy or dispose of your house without any difficulty. If copies can’t be found, your solicitor may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on the property.
How does conveyancing in Yatton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Yatton come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Yatton tend to purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Yatton or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Yatton I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Yatton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
