Finally the sale completed on my house in Essex last July but our buyer keeps texting every few hours complaining that his conveyancer needs to hear from mine. What should have happened following completion?
Post completion of your house sale your solicitor is committed to deliver the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. Depending on the transaction, your lawyer must also confirm that the home loan has been redeemed to the buyers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion tasks just for conveyancing in Essex.
After scouring online forums for a high-quality solicitor in Essex, many advise that I should use a CQS accredited lawyer. Can you explain what CQS is?
The Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) provides a recognised quality standard for residential conveyancing practices issued by the Law Society. Membership achievement establishes a level of credibility for member firms with stakeholders (regulators, lenders, insurers and consumers) based upon: * the integrity of the senior responsible officer and other key conveyancing staff * the firm's adherence to good practice management standards * adherence to prudent and efficient conveyancing procedures through the scheme protocol the standard covers numerous partnerships who conduct conveyancing in Essex.
I am selling our property in Essex and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Essex. Having lived in Essex for many years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Essex I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Essex for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
