My wife and I purchasing a end of terrace house in Poynton. Our aim is to an extension at the rear at the house.Will legal conveyancing on the property include checks to see if these works are prohibited?
Your property lawyer will review the registered title as conveyancing in Poynton will occasionally identify restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of changes or necessitated the consent of a 3rd party. Many extensions call for local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Nationwide are being problematic. The Poynton solicitor who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Nationwide are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Nationwide have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nationwide have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nationwide may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
At last I have had an offer on a flat in Poynton accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on a flat, however it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Poynton. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Co-operative?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Poynton conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancer is on the Co-operative approved list. As to the subsequent stages this very much depends on the specifics of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Co-operative and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to press on with searches.
My wife and I have a semi-detached Georgian house in Poynton. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should assess 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 Poynton and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.
I decided to have a survey done on a house in Poynton before retaining lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor advised that some banks may not issue a mortgage on such a property.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Poynton. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Poynton especially if they are familiar with such properties in Poynton.
How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business offices in Poynton and how can your lawyers assist?
The 1954 Act affords security of tenure to commercial leaseholders, granting the legal entitlement to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
