It is 10 years ago since I bought my house in Caddington. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to find my title deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they may stored with the solicitor who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Caddington involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
I am planning to move house in September. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Caddington. Conveyancing lawyer was organised prior to coming across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from your selling agent but this should only be done after the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be handed over. You can advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Caddington or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Caddington.
Are all Caddington Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel?
Some major lenders now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
When it comes to lenders such as Santander, do Caddington conveyancers have to pay a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any lender fees to be on their panel, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I got the keys to my house on 12 April and my personal details is yet to be registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Caddington advises it would be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Caddington uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Caddington registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration is effected once the new owner is living at the property therefore post completion formalities is not typically an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. 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?
