I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Sacriston off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Lloyds. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Lloyds, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel.
I bought my apartment on 10 January and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Sacriston expressed confidence that it will be dealt with inside ten days. Are titles in Sacriston particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Sacriston registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any third persons or bodies. As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the new owner is living at the premises so 'speed' is not usually an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Sacriston is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Sacriston are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Sacriston you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sacriston 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.
