Our Rushden solicitor has discovered a discrepancy when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor has advised that he needs to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s approach legitimate?

As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Rushden what is your top tip you can impart concerning the house moving process in Rushden

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Rushden and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the seller, property agent and on occasion your mortgage company. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Rushden should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the transaction whose role it is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.

Every so often a third party with a vested interest will try and persuade you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the property agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is slow. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do something that is against your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

About to purchase a new build flat in Rushden. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Rushden

    Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Rushden I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Rushden in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
