I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require chancel insurance when purchasing a property in Sefton? or I am told that there is historic law that could mean that house owners living in a parish church boundary will be compelled to pay for repairs towards the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this suitable for conveyancing in Sefton?
Unless a previous acquisition of the house completed after 12 October 2013 you may expect solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Sefton to continue to suggest a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
I have justbecome aware that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Sefton for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Sefton conveyancing specialists.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Sefton I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Sefton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
My partner has encouraged me to instruct his conveyancing solicitors in Sefton. Do I take his advice?
No doubt it’s preferable to choose a conveyancing practitioner is to get recommendations from friends or relatives who have actually experience in using the firm that you are contemplating using.
