Finally the sale completed on my house in Datchet and Langley last February yet the purchaser is telephoning every few hours to say his solicitor needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities following completion?
Post completion of your sale your conveyancer is duty bound to send the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. If applicable, your conveyancer must also send confirmation that the mortgage has been redeemed to the purchasers solicitors. There are no post completion formalities just for conveyancing in Datchet and Langley.
I am considering applying for a Bank of Ireland mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Datchet and Langley with 70% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Ireland ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Bank of Ireland will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Datchet and Langley is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Datchet and Langley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Datchet and Langley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Datchet and Langley 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.
As co-executor for the estate of my uncle I am disposing of a house in Neath but I am based in Datchet and Langley. My lawyer (who is 300 miles awayhas requested that I sign a statutory declaration ahead of completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Datchet and Langley who can witness and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you are not likely to be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are located in Datchet and Langley
Why am I unable to complete my conveyancing in Datchet and Langley on Good Friday?
This is due to the fact that on completion the money needs to pass between the banks of the buyer and owner’s conveyancing practitioner and at present this can only occur on a business day. So you can't complete on a weekend either.
