I have recentlybecome aware that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Stonehouse for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I establish that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to see if the property is in your name, you can carry out 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 Stonehouse conveyancing specialists.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Stonehouse I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Stonehouse for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
What does commercial conveyancing in Stonehouse cover?
Non domestic conveyancing in Stonehouse incorporates a wide array of guidance, given by qualified solicitors, relating to business property. By way of example, this type of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more commonly, the transfer of existing leases or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial mortgages and the termination of leases.
I'm purchasing a house in Stonehouse. I have found my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't see my lawyer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Is this a big problem?
Not all staff in the law firm must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the transaction, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unlicensed staff.
