I am hoping to move into my new home in Barlaston and Tittensor next Friday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as he says that he has to check this in his capacity as lawyer for the bank. What risks does the mortgage company expect the insurance to cover?
All property lawyers on acting for mortgage companies would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s Part 2 requirements. These requirements are not limited to conveyancing in Barlaston and Tittensor.
Do I need to visit the offices of the solicitor to sign the legal charge? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Barlaston and Tittensor so that I can attend their offices when needed.
Nowadays conveyancing panel lawyers for lenders carry out their work via the post, internet or over the phone. This means that they can undertake the legal work for your home move no matter where you live in the country. That being said you can check if you can still book an appointment to visit conveyancing lawyer if needed.
How does conveyancing in Barlaston and Tittensor differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Barlaston and Tittensor contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because house builders in Barlaston and Tittensor tend to buy the real estate, 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 property lawyers 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 Barlaston and Tittensor or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Barlaston and Tittensor I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Barlaston and Tittensor for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
