It is a dozen years since I acquired my house in Leconfield. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down the deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the mortgage company or they may stored with the conveyancers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Leconfield relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Principality are being difficult. The Leconfield solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Principality are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
About to purchase flat in Leconfield. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Leconfield solicitor is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
Our sealed bid on a detached house in Leconfield has been agreed to, the vendors do however have a tied purchase. The sellers have placed an offer on somewhere, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in Leconfield. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Aldermore going?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Leconfield conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Aldermore approved list. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Aldermore and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their property lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Leconfield.
How does conveyancing in Leconfield differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Leconfield contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because developers in Leconfield usually buy 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 Leconfield or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Leconfield I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Leconfield suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
