This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Fawley. Do I receive the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Fawley?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Fawley. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to receive the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
My wife and I purchasing a victorian detached house in Fawley. The intention is to convert the garage to a playroom at the house.Will legal investigations on the property include investigations to determine if these works were previously refused?
Your conveyancer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Fawley can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent certain works or necessitated the consent of another owner. Some extensions call for local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
My sealed bid on a detached house in Fawley has been accepted, the sellers do nevertheless have an associated purchase. The sellers have put an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Fawley. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Fawley conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your solicitor is on the Clydesdale approved list. Concerning the next stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of buyers will apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their lawyer to proceed with searches.
Just bought a detached house in Fawley , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Fawley conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are dealt with.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Fawley registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration occurs after the new owner is living at the property thus post completion formalities is not usually primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Fawley is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Fawley are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Fawley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Fawley may decide 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.
In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business property in Fawley and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to gives a safeguard to business leaseholders, giving them the right to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of the lease term. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Fawley is one of our hundreds of areas of the UK in which our lawyers are based
Is it best to instruct a Fawley conveyancing lawyer based in the area that I am buying? An old friend can carry out the legal formalities but they are based a couple of hundredmiles drive away.
The benefit of a high street Fawley conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to sign paperwork, present your ID and pester them if necessary. Having local Fawley know how is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and in the main were happy that must trump using an unknown Fawley conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.
