What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Clun? Is this really necessary?

It is indeed that case that the requirement set out by your solicitor has nothing to do with conveyancing in Clun. Nowadays you will not be able to complete any conveyancing process in the absence providing evidence of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence as well as a council tax bill. Remember if you are supplying your driving licence as evidence of ID it must be both the paper section as well as the photo card part, one is not satisfactory in the absence of the other.

Will our lawyer be asking questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Clun.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Clun. Some people will acquire a property in Clun, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous searches that can be initiated by the buyer or by their solicitors which can figure out the risks in Clun. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the vendor to determine if the property has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the seller, then a buyer could issue a legal claim for losses stemming from an incorrect answer. The buyer’s solicitors should also commission an enviro search. This will higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be conducted.

Just acquired a detached house in Clun , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Clun conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my name is recorded.

As far as conveyancing in Clun is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not usually top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I own a leasehold flat in Clun. Conveyancing and Barclays mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing solicitor in Clun who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?

First make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Clun conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

    How much is the ground rent and service charge? Generally speaking the outlay for major works tend not to be included within maintenance charges, although a few managing agents in Clun obliged leaseholders to contribute towards a reserve fund created for the specific intention of establishing a fund for major repairs or maintenance. Are any of leasehold owners in dispute over their service charge payments?
