It is is a decade since I bought my house in Mirfield. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I am unable to track down my title documents. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by your mortgage company or they could be archived with the lawyers who handled the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Mirfield involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.
How does conveyancing in Mirfield differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Mirfield contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because builders in Mirfield usually buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Mirfield or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Mirfield ahead of appointing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor has said that some banks may not issue a loan on such a home.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions from Nationwide. If you call us we can check with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Mirfield. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Mirfield to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
