I am obtaining a offer of a home loan from Nat West. I intend to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Corsham. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Nat West conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Having sold my house in Corsham last August yet the purchaser is e-mailing me complaining that his solicitor is waiting to hear from myconveyancer. What should have happened now that I have sold?
After completion of your disposal your lawyer is committed to deliver the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. If applicable, your solicitor should also send confirmation that the mortgage has been paid off to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion tasks peculiar conveyancing in Corsham.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Corsham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Corsham. Having lived in Corsham for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You should check with 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I own a terraced Victorian property in Corsham. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Nationwide Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Corsham and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
My plan is to acquire a ground floor maisonette in Corsham. Conveyancing solicitor is waiting for, from the seller, building insurance schedule. This afternoon I was advised that the vendor must send the insurance documents for the flat above in addition. Why would my conveyancer want to review the insurance for the other flat? Is it strictly required? We have been in hold for the last month…
It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Corsham to find Conveyancing in Corsham in a minority of cases reveals that the lease obliges the tenant's to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the whole building - which is definitely preferable. Do double check with your property lawyer but it would appear that your property lawyer is seeking to establish that the entire building is insured. Insuring a ground floor flat is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be reinstated due to lack of insurance.
