If applicable, your solicitor should also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been paid off to the buyers lawyers.

Should our solicitor be asking questions concerning flooding during the conveyancing in Kirkbymoorside.

The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors dealing with homes in Kirkbymoorside. Plenty of people will purchase a house in Kirkbymoorside, fully aware that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Solicitors are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that may be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Kirkbymoorside. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual inquiry of the owner to find out if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not revealed by the seller, then a purchaser may bring a claim for damages resulting from an inaccurate response. The buyer’s conveyancers should also commission an enviro report. This will higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries should be carried out.

I acquired my home on 12 November and my personal details is not yet registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Kirkbymoorside expressed confidence that it will be recorded in less than a month. Are transfers in Kirkbymoorside particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Kirkbymoorside registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not always primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Kirkbymoorside I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Kirkbymoorside suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
