I am helping my aunt sell her property in Long Ashton. Does the conveyancer commission the energy performance certificate or it is for the seller to see to?
Following the demise of Home Packs, energy performance certificates became a mandatory element of selling a property. An energy assessment should be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. This is not a task that lawyers normally arrange. If you are using a Long Ashton conveyancing solicitor they might help arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with long established Long Ashton energy assessors
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as a 1st time buyer of a ground floor flat in Long Ashton. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Long Ashton?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Long Ashton. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be invited to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.
Lloyds have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a property in Long Ashton has been accepted, what are the next steps?
Your property agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s approved list). Contact Lloyds or the broker and complete any relevant documentation. Lloyds will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to arrange an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days to receive the mortgage offer. Lloyds will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Long Ashton.
Various online forums that I have visited warn that are the main reason for delay in Long Ashton house deals. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Long Ashton.
five months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Long Ashton completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Long Ashton is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Long Ashton 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 Long Ashton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Long Ashton may determine 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 residence.
