Having sold my house in Caerwent last July yet the purchaser is Skype messaging daily to say her lawyer needs to hear from myconveyancer. What should have happened following completion?
Post completion of your disposal your lawyer should deliver the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. Depending on the transaction, your conveyancer must also evidence that the mortgage has been redeemed to the purchasers solicitors. There are no post completion formalities unique to conveyancing in Caerwent.
We wanted to use a property lawyer in Caerwent for our home move. Our broker has since advised us that our bank Barnsley Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Pre- 2008 most lenders had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Caerwent conveyancing firms would have been on many lender panels. The FSA in 2010 completed a thematic investigation into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, mortgage companies have regularly sought more data from law firms relating to their operations and the individuals who work for them as well as set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum number of transactions. Many Caerwent conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have Unblemished track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Caerwent is amongst the thousands of areas where the lawyers we list are on the panel for Barnsley Building Society.
Just acquired a terraced house in Caerwent , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Caerwent conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my ownership is registered.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Caerwent registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. At present approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration is effected once the purchaser has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not usually primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Caerwent is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Caerwent are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Caerwent you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Caerwent 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.
