Is it realistic for conveyancing in Alvechurch to be done within two weeks?
In the event that the seller is applying a tight deadline to exchange we would recommend that your solicitor is familiar with the location as they will make use of local contacts and knowledge. It is even conceivable that they could have transacted otherhouses in the same road. Therefore consider using a Alvechurch conveyancing solicitor. Second, double check that the conveyancing firm is on the lender panel. It is believed that 18% of Alvechurch conveyancing deals are suspended or jeopardised after finding out that a buyer’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s panel. This can often result in the transaction being delayed by almost 21 days. It is said that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home moves annually. Almost all Alvechurch conveyancing firms can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check as early as possible.

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, HSBC are being problematic. The Alvechurch solicitor who is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but HSBC are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do HSBC have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that HSBC have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why HSBC may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I opted to have a survey done on a property in Alvechurch prior to retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor advised that some lenders may not give a loan on such a property.

I work for a reputable estate agent office in Alvechurch where we see a few flat sales derailed as a result of short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local Alvechurch conveyancing solicitors. Can you clarify whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that 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 proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder 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 purchaser.
I acquired a basement flat in Alvechurch, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in Alvechurch with over 90 years remaining are worth £190,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease terminates on 21st October 2087
With just 61 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £18,100 and £20,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations.
