At what point does exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Nag's Head and am I required to be at the conveyancers office?

If you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Nag's Head you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the property agreement is not the critical part. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Nag's Head)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Do I have to visit the offices of the solicitor to sign the legal charge? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Nag's Head so that I can attend their offices when needed.

Most conveyancing panel lawyers for banks undertake all of the communications via the post, internet or over the phone. This enables them to undertake the legal work for your home move regardless of where you live in the country. That being said you should check if you can still book an appointment to visit conveyancing lawyer if needed.

I am planning to move house in March. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Nag's Head. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across this website.

We had selected conveyancers with offices in Nag's Head on the Skipton solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional charge for handling the Skipton mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Skipton?

Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner may levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Skipton but by your Nag's Head lawyer. Numerous firms on the Skipton panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

I own a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Nag's Head. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Bank of Ireland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for 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 Nag's Head 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 lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.

Is the landlord entitled to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Nag's Head?

Nag's Head conveyancing on leasehold flats often involves the purchaser’s conveyancer submitting questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to respond to these enquiries the majority will be willing to assist. They may levy a reasonable charge for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some cases it exceeds £800. The administration charge required by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration fees, without which the invoice is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that one has no choice but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to exchange contracts with the buyer.

I own a first floor flat in Nag's Head. In the absence of agreement between myself and the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the amount payable for a lease extension?

in cases where there is a missing landlord or where there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to arrive at the price.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a Nag's Head premises is 51 Lorne Road in November 2009. The price Payable as decided by the tribunal for the freehold reversion was £27,000. The valuation follows the order of the County Court made on 3 April 2008 granting a vesting order. This case was in relation to 1 flat. The remaining number of years on the lease was 71 years.
