Can I use your services to locate a Conveyancing solicitor in Kenton even if I’m not buying or disposing of a house, for instance where I wish to acquire a shop in Kenton with a mortgage from Barclays ?
The service is primarily utilised to locate domestic conveyancing solicitors in Kenton but we have recorded towards the bottom of this page a few Kenton commercial conveyancing firms. You should speak with the solicitors directly to establish if they can also act for Barclays
My partner and I are planning on selling our house in Kenton and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Kenton conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Kenton. Having lived in Kenton for 5 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
The deeds to our property can not be found. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Kenton 4 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?
As long as you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be retained by HMLR under a Title Number. It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, locate your house and get up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for a small fee.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Kenton is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Kenton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Kenton 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 Kenton 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 property.
What is the difference between surveying and conveyancing in Kenton?
Conveyancing - in Kenton or elsewhere - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are purchasing and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for negotiating the purchase price down or asking the seller to fix the problems prior to you move in.
