Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Ramsey is more expensive?
In short, leasehold conveyancing in Ramsey and Cambridgeshire usually requires additional hours of investigation compared to freehold transactions. This includes checking the lease terms, liaising with the landlord about serving appropriate notices, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, procuring the landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – regardless of the fact the lease has passed through many different property solicitors hands since it was first entered into.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with HSBC. Ramsey conveyancing solicitors were selected. How long does it take for HSBC to send the offer to the lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have HSBC done the survey? Have you informed HSBC as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the HSBC conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I have paid off my mortgage with Co-operative. I assume I don't need a Ramsey conveyancing practitioner on the Co-operative panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Co-operative mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Co-operative mortgage from the register. Co-operative, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Co-operative has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Co-operative has instructed the Land Registry to do so
My sealed bid on a property in Ramsey has been accepted, the owners do however have a tied purchase. The owners have put an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Ramsey. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Ramsey conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your property lawyer is on the Virgin Money approved list. Concerning the next phase this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of buyers would apply for a home loan with Virgin Money and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to move forward with searches.
