I am acquiring a brand new duplex in Ashington and my solicitor is advising me that she has to the bank to reveal incentives from the developer. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange and I don't want to delay the conveyancing. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
Do I choose a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Ashington?
There are many recorded licenced Conveyancers in Ashington and Solicitor practices in Ashington offering conveyancing We would stress that the two are regulated professionals specialising in the legal aspects of the home buying process. Both can conduct other property legal work such as remortgage conveyancing, lease extensions and transfer of equity conveyancing.
I am planning to move home in June. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Ashington. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen prior to coming across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from the selling agent but this can only happen after the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you can tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal company but can help you choose a conveyancing in Ashington or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Ashington.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Ashington is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Ashington are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Ashington you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ashington may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the property agent advised that the seller will only move forward if we use the agent's chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Ashington
We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is counter productive. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to appoint your preferred Ashington conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a kickback or achieve conveyancing targets set by senior management.
I have just started marketing my 2 bed apartment in Ashington. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have just had a yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you discharge the service charge as you normally would as all ground rent and maintenance payments will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
I purchased a 1 bedroom flat in Ashington, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Ashington with over 90 years remaining are worth £165,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease expires on 21st October 2103
With only 77 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £7,600 and £8,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
