Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Scunthorpe costs more?
Scunthorpe leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time buyer of a garden flat in Scunthorpe. Do I receive the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Scunthorpe?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be invited to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs early afternoon.
We previously appointed conveyancers located in Scunthorpe on the Santander solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a supplemental charge for dealing with the Santander mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Santander?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer can levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Santander but by your Scunthorpe property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Santander panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
Our sealed bid on a property in Scunthorpe has been agreed to, the vendors do however have a dependent purchase. The owners have put an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Scunthorpe. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Nottingham going?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Scunthorpe conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of purchasers would apply for a home loan with Nottingham and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to move forward with the conveyancing in Scunthorpe.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Scunthorpe?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Scunthorpe. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
