Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Geddington

My father advised me that in purchasing a property in Geddington there may be a number of restrictions preventing external alterations to the property. Is this right?

I have paid off my mortgage with Barclays. I assume I don't need a Geddington conveyancer on the Barclays panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Barclays mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Barclays mortgage from the register. Barclays, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property

How does conveyancing in Geddington differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Geddington contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because house builders in Geddington tend to purchase 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 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 Geddington or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Geddington prior to instructing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will not give a mortgage on such a house.

It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different requirements for example to Nationwide. If you call us we can investigate further with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Geddington. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Geddington to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.

My brother has urged me to appoint his conveyancing solicitors in Geddington. Should I choose my own solicitor?

There are no two ways about it it’s preferable to select a conveyancing solicitor is to get guidance from friends or relatives who have actually experience in using the conveyancer that you are are thinking of instructing.

What are the common problems that you witness in leases for Geddington properties?

Leasehold conveyancing in Geddington is not unique. All leases are unique and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain provisions are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts. A duty to insure the building

A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Nationwide Building Society, Norwich and Peterborough Building Society, and Godiva Mortgages Ltd all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the buyer to pull out.
