I was notified yesterday by my mortgage adviser that my Nelson solicitor is not on the bank Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be certain whether this is indeed the case?
The first thing you need to do is to contact your Nelson conveyancer. You lawyer should notify you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Nelson conveyancing practice that is on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
What does a local search tell me about the house I am buying in Nelson?
Nelson conveyancing often starts with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company for instance Xpress Legal The local search plays a central part in many a Nelson conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any unpleasant once you have moved into your property. The search should provide information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen subject sections.
I have todaybeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Nelson for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to check if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Nelson conveyancing specialists.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Nelson is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Nelson are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Nelson you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Nelson 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.
