It may have been a long time coming a mortgage agreement from Santander for the remortgage of my 3 room flat is expected imminently. Are you able to propose a low cost conveyancing practitioner in Alfriston?
You are on the wrong site if you are seeking the cheapest conveyancing in Alfriston. We can offer you value for money conveyancing but we do not advertise as being the cheapest. Do not be swayed by brokers seducing you with £100 conveyancing in Alfriston. Optimistically, in choosing a lawyer for low cost conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst it will result in you with a hefty uplift in extras and still not get the service required.
I am buying a newly built duplex in Alfriston and my solicitor is advising me that she has to the bank to disclose incentives from the developer. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange contracts and I don't want to prolong deal. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancer. A precondition to being on a mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
It is a dozen years since I bought my property in Alfriston. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I can't locate my title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who handled your purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Alfriston involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
3 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Alfriston took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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 premises 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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Alfriston is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Alfriston are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Alfriston you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Alfriston may ascertain 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.
