Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Aylesbury

I am under pressure from the mortgagee in possession of a property in Aylesbury to sign contracts within four weeks. What can be done to speed up the legal process?

Where you are under pressure to exchange we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will benefit local connections and intelligence. It is possible that they could have transacted previoushouses in the same road. Therefore consider using a Aylesbury conveyancing solicitor. In addition, make sure that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is understood that just under twenty per cent of Aylesbury conveyancing transactions are suspended or jeopardised after discovering a buyer’s solicitor was not on their banks member panel. This can often result in the transaction being delayed by an average of 21 days. It is estimated that this issue impacts in the region of one hundred thousand home sales every year. Many Aylesbury conveyancing practices can not represent certain lenders so do check at the outset.

What can a local search reveal about the house my wife and I purchasing in Aylesbury?

Aylesbury conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search organisations such as Xpress Legal The local search is essential in every Aylesbury conveyancing purchase; that is if you wish to avoid any unpleasant once you have moved into your new home. The search should supply data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 subject sections.

I have todaydiscovered that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Aylesbury for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I check that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest way to check if the premises 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 Aylesbury conveyancing specialists.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Aylesbury is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?

Flying freeholds in Aylesbury are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Aylesbury you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Aylesbury 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 premises.

I have noted on a number of online forums that before selecting a conveyancing firm they must be approved by your bank. It happens to be my first house move but I have an AIP from Virgin Money and I already have a bricks and morter conveyancing solicitor in Aylesbury in place. Will Virgin Money need an approved conveyancer to be selected? Does a directory of approved solicitors even exist so I can appoint a conveyancing lawyer in Aylesbury?

You should instruct a solicitor that is on the Virgin Money panel. Just call your preferred Aylesbury conveyancing lawyer and ask if they are on the Virgin Money panel. If they are not approved you have a couple of options open to you here:

  • Complete the purchase with your chosen Aylesbury lawyer but Virgin Money will no doubt appoint a conveyancer from their approved list. The net result is additional charges and probable interruption.
  • Choose a new property lawyer to act in the purchase, ensuring that they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
  • Convince your property lawyer to pull out all the stops to join the Virgin Money panel of solicitors.
