Can the conveyancing solicitors Indexed on your site execute auction conveyancing in Ossett?
There are a number of niche lawyers we can put you in touch with those specialising in auction conveyancing. Ossett is just one of hundreds of locations where our lawyers have a presence.
When will exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Ossett and do I need to attend the lawyers branch?
Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Ossett you are welcome to attend to sign documents. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer a national conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not the critical part. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Ossett)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
We are purchasing a terrace house in Ossett. We would like to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve enquiries to determine if these works are prohibited?
Your property lawyer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Ossett will occasionally identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict certain alterations or need the permission of a 3rd party. Certain works call for local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with RBS. I assume I don't need a Ossett property lawyer on the RBS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your RBS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the RBS mortgage from the register. RBS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where RBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- RBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Ossett. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £225. A few days later, the conveyancing practitioner called me to say that they were not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nottingham panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I require quick conveyancing in Ossett as I am under pressure to sign on the dotted line inside 2 weeks. A home loan is not required. Can I decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?
As you are not getting a home loan you have the choice not to do searches although no solicitor would recommend that you don't. Drawing on years of experience of conveyancing in Ossett the following are examples of what can show up and therefore affect future mortgageability: Refused Planning Applications, Outstanding Charges, Outstanding Grants, Unadopted Roads,...
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Ossett I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ossett in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
