I am purchasing a property mortgage free in Dunnington. I have lived for the last dozen years in Dunnington. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Dunnington conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your conveyancer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but she is duty bound to do this. Do consider; if you are intend to dispose of the house one day, it will likely be be of importance to your prospective purchaser what the searches determine. On occasion premises with no practical issues can still reveal detrimental search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Dunnington should be able to give you some helpful guidance in this regard.
My Conveyancer in Dunnington is not on the Skipton Building Society Conveyancing Panel. Can I still continue with my prefered solicitor even though they are not on the Skipton Building Society panel?
The limited options available to you here include:
- Complete the purchase with your existing Dunnington solicitors but Skipton Building Society will need to retain a solicitor on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional overall legal charges as well as cause frustration.
- Find a new lawyer to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are Skipton Building Society approved.
- Try to convince your Skipton Building Society solicitor to try to join the Skipton Building Society panel
I have justbeen informed that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Dunnington for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to see if the property is registered to you, 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 Dunnington conveyancing specialists.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Dunnington I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Dunnington in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
Are there any apps to help identify a Dunnington law firm on the Santander conveyancing panel? I am a keen cyclist and am willing to travel upto 20miles to meet the conveyancer.
