I am obtaining a offer of a home loan from Nat West. I hope to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Midhurst. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Nat West approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
We are purchasing a house and the conveyancer has identified Chancel Repair to which the property could be liable given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. She has recommended insurance. Is this strictly appropriate for conveyancing in Midhurst
Unless a previous acquisition of the premises completed post 12 October 2013 you could take it that lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Midhurst to remain encouraging a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
I have todaybecome aware that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Midhurst for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to see if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Midhurst conveyancing specialists.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Midhurst I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Midhurst for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
Am I better off to choose a Midhurst conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am buying? I have an old university friend who can deal with the legal work however they are based 200kilometers away.
The primary upside of using a local Midhurst conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to execute documents, present your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. Having local Midhurst know how is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust instructed your friend and they were happy that must outweigh using an unknown Midhurst conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.
