Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home are lost. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Empingham 5 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will know exactly where to look for all the suitable documentation so you may purchase or sell your house without any difficulty. Where duplicates can’t be found, your solicitor may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on the premises.
How does conveyancing in Empingham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Empingham approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because house builders in Empingham typically acquire 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Empingham or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Empingham is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Empingham are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Empingham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Empingham 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 property.
