My wife and I are purchasing a property in Wendover. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we have to deposit funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I am planning to move home in March. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Wendover. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen prior to coming across this site.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from the estate agent but this can only be done when the vendors solicitors advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. You will need to advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to recommend a particular removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Wendover or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Wendover.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with HSBC. Wendover conveyancing lawyers were appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from HSBC?
There is no definitive answer here. Have HSBC conducted the survey? Have you informed HSBC as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the HSBC conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
Me and my brother purchased a terraced Victorian house in Wendover. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. Is it worth asking Platform Home Loans Ltd to clarify?
You should 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Wendover and other locations in 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 your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.
We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent has warned us that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint their chosen conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Wendover
It is highly unlikely the owners are behind this. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and explain that (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Wendover conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will earn their estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing thresholds demanded by HQ.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Wendover. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Wendover - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I bought a 1st floor flat in Wendover, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent flats in Wendover with a long lease are worth £222,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2097
With only 71 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
