It is a dozen years since I acquired my house in Alvechurch. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find the deeds. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be with your lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly in most cases the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Alvechurch relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.
I am planning to move house in February. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Alvechurch. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across this website.
On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from your selling agent however this should only occur once the vendors conveyancers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you should inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Alvechurch or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Alvechurch.
We are buying a detached bungalow in Alvechurch. Our aim is to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will legal work on the property include investigations to see if these alterations are prohibited?
Your solicitor will check the registered title as conveyancing in Alvechurch will sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent categories of alterations or necessitated the permission of a 3rd party. Many works need local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
Is it correct that all Alvechurch CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing list of approved practices?
It is true that some banks and building societies now make use of CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

I am a negotiator for a busy estate agent office in Alvechurch where we see a number of leasehold sales jeopardised due to short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local Alvechurch conveyancing firms. Please can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can start the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
I am the registered owner of a 1st floor flat in Alvechurch, conveyancing formalities finalised in 1998. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable properties in Alvechurch with an extended lease are worth £201,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2090
With 64 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £15,200 and £17,600 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
I today plan to offer on a house that seems to tick a lot of boxes, at a reasonable price which is making it all the more appealing. I have since discovered that it's a leasehold rather than freehold. I am assuming that there are particular concerns buying a house with a leasehold title in Alvechurch. Conveyancing solicitors have are soon to be instructed. Will they explain the issues?
The majority of houses in Alvechurch are freehold rather than leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer used to dealing with such properties who can assist with the conveyancing process. It is clear that you are purchasing in Alvechurch so you should seriously consider shopping around for a Alvechurch conveyancing practitioner and be sure that they are used to transacting on leasehold houses. First you will need to check the number of years remaining. As a leaseholder you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want to the property. The lease comes with conditions such as requiring the freeholder’sconsent to carry out changes to the property. It may be necessary to pay a maintenance charge towards the upkeep of the estate where the property is located on an estate. Your lawyer will appraise you on the various issues.
