Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Aldeburgh

We are buying a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Aldeburgh who is on the Bank of Ireland solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Bank of Ireland . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Aldeburgh.

Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to attend the offices of the solicitor to execute the mortgage deed? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Aldeburgh so that I can attend their offices if required.

Most approved lawyers for lenders undertake their work via Royal Mail, internet or over phone calls. This means that they can undertake the legal work for your home move no matter where you live in the country. However you can see if you have the option of attending the offices of your conveyancing lawyer if needed.

How does conveyancing in Aldeburgh differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Aldeburgh contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because house builders in Aldeburgh tend to acquire the land, 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 Aldeburgh or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Aldeburgh I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Aldeburgh for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

Back In 2005, I bought a leasehold flat in Aldeburgh. Conveyancing and Coventry Building Society mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing solicitor in Aldeburgh who acted for me is not around. Any advice?

The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to instruct a Aldeburgh conveyancing practitioner to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

Aldeburgh Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - A selection of Questions you should ask before Purchasing

    What is the yearly service fee and ground rent? Are any of leasehold owners in dispute over their service charge payments? What is the length of the lease?

Myself and my partner have recently had an offer agreed on a apartment and had an appointment on Wednesday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They have informed me that when it comes to choosing a conveyancing practitioner that unless they are on their approved panel of solicitors then we will have to pay out an extra fee of £200. This is because they will then have to select a property lawyer to act for them as well as the one we choose to act for ourselves and we will be on the hook for their costs. I have requested Nationwide to send me with a list so I can obtain estimates only from their approved lawyers but was told that I need to check with each individual lawyer to see if they are on the panel. What would be the best way of going about this?

Ask Nationwide what their criteria for panel membership is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the property lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Nationwide in the past. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Nationwide. Alternatively please make use of our search facility and we may be able to identify a conveyancing practitioner in Aldeburgh on the panel for Nationwide.
