I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and have to leave my let out apartment in Wendover by 16/12/2024. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in 5 weeks as don't want to have to move into temporary accommodation?
Generally one should not give notice for your lease unless you have exchanged. If you have not already done so, speak to your lawyer and request that they chase the owners solicitors, try to a target completion date that everyone will work to achieve
Can I use your services to recommend a Conveyancing solicitor in Wendover even if I’m not buying or disposing of a house, for example where I wish to acquire an office in Wendover with a loan from HSBC Bank?
Our search tool is primarily there to select residential conveyancing solicitors in Wendover but we have listed at the bottom of this page some Wendover commercial conveyancing firms. You will need to speak with the firm directly to check if they can also act for HSBC Bank
3 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Wendover completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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 residence 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Wendover is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Wendover are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Wendover you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wendover may ascertain 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.
My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, but the estate agent told us that the seller will only move forward if we use their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Wendover
It is highly unlikely the sellers are behind this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Wendover conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will provide their estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing targets demanded by senior management.
