Just bought a semi-detached house in Hertfordshire , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Hertfordshire conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check that my ownership is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Hertfordshire registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. As of today roughly 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the buyer has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not typically primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I am buying a new build house in Hertfordshire with a loan from Leeds Building Society. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not inform my conveyancer about this extras as it would jeopardize my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Hertfordshire is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Hertfordshire are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Hertfordshire 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 Hertfordshire 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 property.
As co-executor for the estate of my grandmother I am selling a house in Swansea but reside in Hertfordshire. My conveyancer (approximately 300 kilometers from merequires that I sign a stat dec ahead of completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing lawyer in Hertfordshire who can attest and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you are unlikely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are based in Hertfordshire
