I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Meopham off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Nottingham. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
Have completed on a a terraced house in Meopham , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Meopham conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the registration is dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Meopham registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any interested parties. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not usually top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Meopham is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Meopham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Meopham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Meopham may ascertain 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 residence.
