Conveyancing is the legal process that occurs when the ownership of a property is transferred from a seller to a buyer. A conveyancing solicitor is a highly trained individual who can help you to work your way through all of the legal language that is involved and ensure that the sale from one person to another goes without a hitch.

Moving house can be a stressful process for anyone, but it would be even worse if you had to deal with all of the paperwork yourself. A conveyancing solicitor works for you from the moment an offer is accepted on a property, right up until the moment that the sale or purchase is completed. They will help to order searches on a property as well as interpret the results. They can draft and check contracts and offer expert advice throughout the process.

Not only will they deal with mortgage companies, but they can also work with estate agents and HMRC to make sure that everything involved in the property sale runs as smoothly as possible. This makes your life easier and avoids any unnecessary delays.

As a conveyancing solicitor, it is very important to have a good knowledge of the local area. By doing so, we can understand how the local market works as well as knowing of any local laws or covenants that might affect a property. We know what to look out for on searches and whether these are things that you need to worry about or not, so we can take the guess work out of much of the process.

You will need a conveyancing solicitor when you have an offer on a property accepted. We will then order any searches that need to be made on the property to give both you and your mortgage lender that all important peace of mind.

We will then go through your contracts for you, looking at both your mortgage agreement and purchase contract, and will talk to you about any points that you should be aware of or concerned about. If there are any queries, we will raise them with the seller’s solicitors and feed back any response to you.

Once everyone is happy, it’s time to sign the contracts and exchange them. This will allow us to agree a date for completion and we can then ensure that you have the funds for your purchase and Stamp Duty Land Tax in place. On the day of completion, we will transfer the funds at the appropriate time so that you can collect your fees, and we will make sure that you are registered on The Land Registry as the new owner of the property.

If you are selling a property, then you will also need a conveyancing solicitor to take you through the process, and they should be instructed once you accept an offer on your property. You will then be required to complete a number of detailed questionnaires about your property which we can help you with.

These will look at things such as boundaries, disputes, proposed developments, building works, utilities, council tax and sewerage. There will also be forms allowing you detail what fixtures and fittings will be included with the property, and a technical questionnaire which will also aim to establish the details for completion.

All of this information will then allow us to draft a contract which will be sent to the buyer for approval, and any queries resulting from this can be dealt with. The exchange of contracts can then take place and you will be in a legally binding contract to sell the property. On completion, we will receive the outstanding balance of the sale price, pay off the mortgage and hand over any legal documents that prove ownership.

One of the most common situations in house sales is to be buying and selling a house at the same time. This often creates a chain where exchanges and completions can only take place once everybody in the chain is ready, and it means that swift action and communication are key to avoiding delays. It is possible for us to represent you in both the sale of your existing property and the purchase of your new one, and this can often speed the process up as there are less people to deal with.

Often, it is easier to buy a house when you have agreed on an offer for the one you have – this puts you in a better position in the eyes of the seller. Your solicitor can then juggle the searches and contracts for both properties, ensuring that you understand the process throughout. Once these have been completed on all properties in the chain, contracts can be exchanged, and completion dates can be agreed. It is worth remembering that this will often start with the people at the top of the chain and then trickle down.

As your conveyancing solicitor, we will keep an eye on all elements of the chain and keep you up to date with the latest situation.

If you are buying a property in order to rent it out, then you will need assistance from a solicitor as this will be classed as an investment property. The legal process for a buy-to-let property can be quite different as there are additional checks which need to be run and a specific type of mortgage that is required. You will need to discuss with your solicitor whether you will be buying as a private individual or as a limited company, before going through the contract from the seller.

When the searches are conducted, there will be extra checks for any restrictions preventing the buyer from putting a tenancy agreement in place. Your solicitor will also need to ensure that you have the appropriate landlord’s insurance in place before the exchange of contracts can occur.

Completion day will continue as it would with any other property purchase, however, if there are tenants in situ then the property will not be left vacant.

If you are a first-time buyer, then the legal process can be extremely daunting. Your conveyancing solicitor will be able to explain everything to you and can ensure that understand the entire process. They can guide you through everything, with regular updates and explanations to make sure you know what is happening and what to expect.

A conveyancing solicitor will make the entire process much easier and will ensure you are not caught up in any legal minefields.

When buying a property, a mortgage is often needed. To buy a new property, you will need a Mortgage in Principle from your lender, which confirms how much they would be prepared to lend you and under what terms.

A conveyancing solicitor can check through your mortgage deeds and check that everything is correct and that there are no terms which could present a problem. Once your sale is underway, you will need to apply for the mortgage in full, so that you can prove that the funds are in place. When you are due to complete, your mortgage company will release the funds to your solicitor so that they can be transferred at the appropriate time.

Remortgaging through your existing provider can be relatively straight forward, as the mortgage details that the Land Registry needs will not change. However, if you are moving to a new lender, then a conveyancer will be needed to ensure that your new mortgage is registered against your house. You solicitor will gather your mortgage details and tell you what is outstanding as well as any redemption fees.

Your new lender will then send you a valuation of the property and a mortgage offer which your conveyancing solicitor will check through and raise any issues before you sign it. Once the funds are received, your solicitor will use these to pay off the existing mortgage and the Land Registry can be updated.

When running a business, there are many different challenges that you face. You will need to bring in new customers, develop your products and services and find efficient ways to make money. Unfortunately, no matter how hard you work, you will find that there are some customers who do not pay their bills. There can be many different reasons for this, but it is important for the health of your own business that you are able to recover these debts as quickly and efficiently as possible and so it can be necessary to turn to a debt collection service. 

We have all heard tales of unscrupulous debt collectors in the past, which is why it is important to be very careful who you choose to represent your business. At Lovedays Solicitors we have huge expertise in providing debt collection services for businesses who are struggling with overdue accounts, so here we take a look at what business debt collection means and the best ways to go about it. 

Overview of Business Debt Collection

As a business, you will probably produce invoices for any services undertaken or products that you have made. These invoices will have their own payment terms and when a customer fails to meet these terms then you may need to look at ways to recover that debt. This is because unpaid invoices can have a huge effect on your cash flow and therefore reduce your inventory turnover. As a result, this can harm your company's credit ratings and tarnish your reputation, so the sooner you take action, the more likely you are to receive the money that you are owed. 

If you are confident that the invoice has all the correct details and that an enforceable contract is in place between the two parties, then you can begin to tackle any overdue invoices within the first 45 days of the due date. As most payment terms request payment within 30 days, an invoice becomes a bad debt if it remains unpaid for a total of 60 days, and this is when you are able to resort to business debt collection. 

Consumer debt collection refers to any debts owed by an individual customer to a business, however, business debt collection differs from this as it specialises in collecting debts owed by one business to another.

Key Elements of Business Debt Collection

The process of debt collection relies on good communication, documentation and legal compliance. Before undertaking any business debt collection, you should first try and reach out to the customer yourself to find out whether there is a problem that can be dealt with, such as an issue with the goods or a problem with their payment systems. You should also ensure that you have all the necessary paperwork in order that confirms exactly what they agreed to and that you have a full and complete invoice so that you can prove your case and show that the debt is legitimate. 

If a telephone call and a firm but polite letter requesting payment have both been unsuccessful, then you may want to consider external options for business debt collection. Experienced business debt collectors specialised in collecting the balance in full, from the debtor whilst trying to avoid going down a route of litigation.

Your business will continue to own and control the amount that is owed to you by the customer, and the debt collectors will work as a middleman between the two of you. They have the ability to reach out to the customer directly and their requests can often be taken more seriously.

They are also able to negotiate payment plans if full payment is not possible and they have the ability to initiate legal action to collect the amount if it has not been paid after 180 days. It is important to remember that there are different better categories and so you will need someone who can tailor their collection strategies accordingly.

The Business Debt Collection Process

Initial Steps

When you have issued an invoice to a customer, you will need to set out the payment terms outlining how many days they have to pay. If they fail to make the payment in the required time, then it is often advisable to pick up the phone and try to speak to them directly. This can often help to iron out any minor problems such as the invoice not having been received, issues with the goods or any difficulties the customer might have in making payment.

If this is unsuccessful then you should try sending reminders and a polite but firm demand letter. This should serve as a reminder to the customer that the invoice remains outstanding and should request prompt payment. It can often help to give a clear deadline for that payment so that there are no ambiguities. You should also advise that you intend to take more stringent action should payment still fail to arrive. 

It is important that you keep clear and accurate records of all communication that you have with the client and any transactions that are made. Should you need to refer the debt to a debt collection agency or pursue a path of litigation, you will have full records of everything that has been said, which should make your case more successful.

Working with Debt Collection Agencies

If you have sent clear and fair reminders and no payment has been received, then you may need to turn to a business debt collector instead. Deciding to do this can be based on a number of factors including the relationship that you have with the client, whether they have made any attempts to make payments, and how much communication you have been able to have with them. Business debt collectors can often make a situation appear more serious, and this can galvanise people into making payment much quicker and once they are involved. 

In most cases, you will still own the debt and agencies may decide to charge you based on a percentage of the amount collected or through a flat fee. They will start by using phone calls and letters to reach the customer directly and request the payment in full. Should they not be able to make this possible, then they will begin to negotiate a payment plan with your approval. There is a 180-day window In which this payment in full or through a payment plan needs to be made, and a failure to do so means that the agency then has the right to initiate legal action in order to collect the amount owed.

Legal Actions and Considerations

If it becomes necessary to take legal action to recover your debt, then you will probably be referred to the Small Claims Court. This means your case will be heard by a county court, and the fees for this tend to be much cheaper than going to the High Court. The Small Claims Court can deal with claims which are less than £10,000 in value.

Once a claim is made through the Small Claims Court, the customer has a 14-day limit in which to respond. If they fail to respond or choose to challenge the claim, then the case will need to be heard in the county court and you will need appropriate legal representation on your side. 

Should you win a judgement, but the customer still refuses to pay the debts, then you may want to have the debtors summoned to appear in court in order to be questioned. This can sometimes prompt payment, and the court may consider sending in bailiffs to seize goods for judgements up to £5000. 

A winding-up petition can also be issued if an insolvent company fails to repay a debt of more than £750 which has gone unpaid for at least 21 days. If the winding-up petition is not successfully opposed, then the company can be compulsorily liquidated, bringing it to an end and causing its assets to be liquidated for the benefit of anyone who is owed money. This can sometimes make it possible for you to recover some or all of the debt if there is enough to pay any creditors. 

In order for it to be possible to pursue any debts, it is vital that you adhere to all laws and regulations during the process as legal pitfalls could mean you are not eligible to make a claim.

Benefits of Professional Debt Collection Services

Advantages Professional Debt Collection Services

There are a number of benefits to employing the service of professional debt collection agencies. The main reason for doing this is their increased success rate. The fact that a debt collection service has got involved is usually enough to prompt most people into making payment or at least trying to negotiate a payment plan.

This is because they are aware that the consequences are rapidly becoming more serious, and they wish to avoid any legal action. Successfully chasing outstanding debt also requires a degree of legal expertise, which is usually provided by a professional debt collection service and can help you to avoid any typical legal headaches. 

It is important that you make use of the right professional debt collection services. Debt can mount up for a number of different reasons and it can present a difficult situation for your customer. By using a debt collection service who has a good reputation, you can still help to maintain customer relationships and avoid any unnecessary aggressive tactics being involved.

Risks of DIY Debt Collection

You may decide to handle the outstanding debt yourself, but this can cause more problems. One issue can be that the customer still fails to take the debt seriously and so it can linger on for a lot longer than it needs to. When handling debt collection, it is important that you follow a legal process at all times.

For many business owners, outstanding debt can start to feel quite personal and so it is easy to cross the line when it comes to dealing with your customers. This means you may not maintain legal compliance, which could then harm your case when it comes to making a claim for the debt and may even open the door for the customer making a claim against you for aggressive tactics. Chasing debt is also a time-consuming process and this can be quite costly for a business. Dealing with the issues of chasing debt can mean the extra strain is put on your resources and expertise within your business is not being used in the most efficient way.

The sale or purchase of any property will often need the help of a conveyancing solicitor, but this is particularly important in the case of buy-to-let properties. At Lovedays Solicitors, our experienced team can act for property developers and investors throughout all the stages of the transaction, offering expert advice and the first-class service for which we are known.

The Difference Between Buy to Let and Residential Conveyancing

Whilst you might be buying a property like any other, when it is done as a buy-to-let purchase, the legal side of things can be quite different. As the property is intended to be rented out to tenants, you will require a different type of mortgage, and lenders will have other stipulations, such as landlords’ insurance, which you will need to have before you can go ahead.

Your solicitor will also need to check that the property you wish to buy has no restrictions on renting it out.

{quote}

The Process of Buy to Let Conveyancing

When you have had an offer accepted on a property, your solicitor will contact the seller for the contract pack, which can be checked, and any queries can be raised. The process of ordering searches should also begin, and the solicitor can check any restrictions on the property. This will ensure that it can be rented out to tenants and can offer advice on planning applications, environmental restriction and the tax implications of your investment. 

If you are buying the property with a buy-to-let mortgage, your solicitor will also check this agreement and help you to put together any other legal documents that you might need such as deeds of trust or tenancy agreements. If the property already has tenants in situ, your solicitor can look at the agreement that is in place for this.

Once a completion date is agreed the contracts can be signed and exchanged, and a transfer deed can be prepared. The conveyancer can then ask the mortgage lender to advance the funds, which can be sent to the seller on the day of completion. Any Stamp Duty Land Tax will also be managed by your solicitor, and it is important to remember that you may have to pay an additional stamp duty rate if you already own other property.

Expertise Required in Buy to Let Conveyancing

Buy-to-let purchases require a conveyancer with specialist experience in the field due to the complicated legal responsibilities that are involved. A buy-to-let conveyancer will need to understand the nuances of the different mortgages that are involved and will need to have a clear grasp of the tax implications of your purchase so that they can advise you accordingly and help you to make the best decisions. 

An experienced conveyancer will also have a good knowledge of all of the other legal requirements that will affect you as a landlord, as well as your responsibilities and contractual obligations towards tenants who are already in situ.

{quote}

Choosing Your Buy to Let Property

When you choose a buy-to-let property, you will have to take different things into consideration compared with when you are buying a property to live in. This is a purchase that needs to be made entirely with your head and not your heart. 

You should first look at the local area to see what type of tenants you are likely to attract. You should consider whether you want a family home, a student flat or something that might be suited to young professionals. Consider what the area has to offer and whether this matches your target market. You should also study the local rental market to see how busy it is and what rental yields you can hope to achieve. 

As this is an investment property, you will want it to increase in value in order to make a profit when you sell, and so you need to keep this in mind. Look at the trends in the local property market as well as whether the property you are considering has any opportunities for development or where you might be able to add value.

If you do not want the hassle of advertising for tenants and vetting them, you might want to take on a property that already has tenants in situ. This presents you with a different range of properties and considerations about the rental agreement that might already be in place.

Financing Your Buy to Let Property

If you intend on borrowing money to buy your investment property, then it is important to remember that buy-to-let mortgages work very differently to residential ones. The fees for these sorts of mortgages can often be a lot higher, as can the interest rates. The required deposit is also much higher and can be in the region of 20%-40%. Buy-to-let mortgages often tend to be interest-only, which means that you are not paying off any capital during the term and you will need to be able to pay the loan in full at the end. 

The amount that you can borrow for a buy-to-let mortgage is based on the rental income you are likely to receive, rather than your salary, and so you need to be sure that the monthly payments can cover this comfortably. 

Your conveyancing solicitor will be able to look through your mortgage agreement and will be able to highlight any points of concern or details that you will need to be aware of.

{quote} 

Understanding the Costs of Buy to Let Conveyancing

The cost of conveyancing when purchasing a buy-to-let property can vary and will not only include the cost of the solicitor themselves, but also the fees for any searches that are completed, the cost of registering the property with The Land Registry and any free holder fees. Depending on your situation and the property in question, there may also be other fees to consider. 

The legal fees for conveyancing can range from £600 to £1500 for leasehold properties.

Legal Requirements for Buy to Let Properties

When purchasing a buy-to-let property, you take on certain legal responsibilities as a landlord. You will need to ensure that there are annual gas safety inspections, and an electrical safety check must be conducted before a tenancy begins. Any property which is marketed as available to rent must also have an up-to-date Energy Performance Certificate.

When a tenant pays a deposit, it needs to be put into a Tenancy Deposit Scheme to ensure that it is fully protected, and the tenants must be given the details of this. When you take out your buy-to-let mortgage, you will be required to not only hold buildings insurance, but also landlords’ insurance to protect you and the property. 

Any soft furnishings that you supply with the property must all conform to the latest fire regulations and should display a label showing this.

When you have tenants in place, you must have a tenancy agreement which outlines the rights and responsibilities of both the tenants and the landlords regarding the length of the tenancy, the amount payable, and inventory and any rules that cover the use of the property.

{quote}

Tax Implications: Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax

Your conveyancing solicitor can advise you on the tax implications of purchasing a buy-to-let property. At the moment, landlords will be required to pay 20% tax on any income £12,571 and £50,270 and income above this will be taxed at the higher rate of 40%.

Capital Gains Tax will be paid on any profit that you make when you sell the property, but the amount will depend on how much income you have earned during the year in which you sell it. The current rate is 18% for basic rate taxpayers earning up to £50,000 a year and 28% for higher rate taxpayers earning more than this amount. 

Stamp Duty in Buy to Let Properties

Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is a tax that is payable on the purchase or transfer of property or land in England and Northern Ireland. The tax is calculated based on the price you pay for the property or land.

{quote}

The Role of Solicitors in Buy to Let Conveyancing

A solicitor is incredibly important when buying a buy-to-let property. Not only will they need to liaise between all parties, but they will also need to review any contracts and agreements and make sure that you have all of your legal requirements in place. They can assist you in dealing with your mortgage lender and any tenancy agreements to ensure that all parties are taken care of.
