We are about to complete buying a property in Ulceby but as a consequence of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate recompense from the owner in the sum of £3k in the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however HSBC are not allowing this. Should they have been involved?
The conveyancer that is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is required to disclose to HSBC of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to disclose the price change to HSBC then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, HSBC and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Ulceby.
The Ulceby conveyancing solicitors that just started acting on my house acquisition in Ulceby have suddenly closed. I chose them because I had to have a solicitor on the Nationwide conveyancing panel and my preferred Ulceby lawyer was not. I gave my credit card details for them to take one hundred and fifty pounds for searches. What are my options?
If you have an estate agent involved then let them know straight away so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to reasons beyond your control. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors should be in a position to assist.
We are purchasing a property and the conveyancer has referenced Chancel Repair for which the house could be obligated to pay given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. She has mentioned insurance. Is this really required for conveyancing in Ulceby
Unless a previous purchase of the premises took place after 12 October 2013 you may assume that conveyancing practitioners handling conveyancing in Ulceby to continue to suggest a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
Just bought a detached house in Ulceby , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Ulceby conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my name is recorded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Ulceby registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not always primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Ulceby is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Ulceby are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Ulceby you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ulceby 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 property.
