Completed the sale of my flat in Leicestershire last August yet the purchaser is whats apping me to moan that their solicitor is waiting to hear from mine. What should have happened following completion?
After completion of your disposal your solicitor is duty bound to send the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. Depending on the transaction, your lawyer must also evidence that the home loan has been repaid to the purchasers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion steps specific conveyancing in Leicestershire.
I need some quick conveyancing in Leicestershire as I am under pressure to complete within one month. A home loan is not required. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?
As you are not obtaining a home loan you have the choice not to do searches although no conveyancer would advise that you don't. With plenty of history conveyancing in Leicestershire the following are instances of what can crop up and therefore affect future mortgageability: Refused Planning Applications, Overdue Charges, Overdue Grants, Road Schemes,...
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Leicestershire I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Leicestershire for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
Given that I will soon spend £400,000 on 3 bedroom house in Leicestershire I would like to have a conversation with the lawyer about myhome move prior to appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the lawyer due to be conducting your property ownership legalities in Leicestershire.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique individual, not a matter number. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are quoted for residential conveyancing in Leicestershire should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.
We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the agent advised that the owners will only proceed if we use the agent's preferred lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Leicestershire
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred Leicestershire conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will earn their estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.
