We are planning to move home in March. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Telford. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your property agent but this should only occur once the sellers solicitors inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. You will need to tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Telford or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Telford.
I'm the sole beneficiary of my late father’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Telford. The Telford property was put into my name in January. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in January. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause is chiefly there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of properties.
It is not clear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Telford bank branch on various occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they will lend. My Telford conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they will not lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
Your lawyer has to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook Part 2 conditions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I acquired my house on 7 August and the transaction details are still not registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Telford advises it will be registered in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Telford uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Telford registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration takes place once the new owner is living at the property thus post completion formalities is not always an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Telford differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Telford contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Telford tend to buy the land, 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 conveyancers 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 Telford or who has acted in the same development.
