Is it realistic for conveyancing in England Springs to be finalised inside a month?

Where you are under pressure to complete we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will benefit local relationships and insight. It is possible that they would have transacted otherhomes in the same street. You would be best advised to use a England Springs conveyancing solicitor.

It is understood that nearly one in five of England Springs conveyancing transactions are held up or derailed after finding out that a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their banks panel.

It is is a decade since I acquired my property in England Springs. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Will this cause complications?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who oversaw your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in England Springs relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

I am assisting my aunt sell her property in England Springs. Will the conveyancing solicitor order an EPC or it is for the owner to coordinate?

Following the abolition of HIPs, energy assessments was maintained a compulsory part of moving house. An energy assessment must be to hand prior to the property being advertised. This is not a task that law firms ordinarily arrange. Where you are instructing a England Springs conveyancing practitioner they might be able to arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with long established England Springs energy assessors

I currently have a mortgage with Co-operative for my property in England Springs. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Co-operative?

Co-operative must be informed of your intention before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Co-operative’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Co-operative directly. You need not do this via a Co-operative conveyancing panel lawyer.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Kent Reliance are being problematic. The England Springs solicitor who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Kent Reliance are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Kent Reliance have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Kent Reliance have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Kent Reliance may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Will our solicitor be asking questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in England Springs.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in England Springs. Plenty of people will acquire a house in England Springs, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, 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 offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of searches that can be undertaken by the buyer or by their solicitors which will give them a better understanding of the risks in England Springs. The standard information given to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a usual inquiry of the seller to find out whether the property has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the seller, then a purchaser may issue a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate reply. A buyer’s solicitors may also commission an environmental report. This will reveal if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further investigations should be conducted.

I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in England Springs I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in England Springs in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
