Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Aylsham

My husband and I have organised the release of further monies on our mortgage from Coventry BS as we want to carry out improvements to our property in Aylsham. Are we obliged to appoint a local Aylsham solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

Coventry BS would not normally appoint firms on their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Coventry BS list.

I have a mortgage with Virgin Money for my property in Aylsham. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Virgin Money?

Virgin Money must be informed of your intention in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Virgin Money’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Virgin Money will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Virgin Money directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Virgin Money conveyancing panel firm.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Barclays. Is it usual for Barclays to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Aylsham is approved on their conveyancing panel? Barclays have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Barclays to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Should our conveyancer be raising questions regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Aylsham.

Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers dealing with homes in Aylsham. There are those who buy a property in Aylsham, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that can be carried out by the purchaser or by their solicitors which should figure out the risks in Aylsham. The conventional set of information sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the seller to find out whether the property has historically flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the seller, then a purchaser may issue a legal claim for losses as a result of such an misleading reply. A buyer’s solicitors should also carry out an enviro search. This will disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be made.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Aylsham I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Aylsham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

I am using a search engine for the words conveyancing in Aylsham it reveals numerous solicitorsin the vicinity. With so much choice what is the best way to find the suitable solicitor for my move?

The ideal method of choosing the right conveyancer is through a personal testimonial, so enquire of friends and those you trust who have acquired a property in Aylsham or the local estate agent or mortgage broker. Charges for conveyancing in Aylsham vary, so it's advisable to obtain a minimum of three estimates from different conveyancers. Be sure to obtain confirmation what costs in the quote includes.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Aylsham. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Aylsham - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I am the registered owner of a basement flat in Aylsham, conveyancing formalities finalised 9 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable flats in Aylsham with a long lease are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease expires on 21st October 2089

With just 64 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £15,200 and £17,600 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
