Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Bank of Ireland Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Bakewell?

The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

I require quick conveyancing in Bakewell as I am under pressure to exchange contracts in less than 2 weeks. A mortgage is not required. Can I decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?

As you are are a cash purchaser you are at free not to have searches carried out although no lawyer would suggest that you don't. With lots of history conveyancing in Bakewell the following are examples of issues that can crop up and therefore impact market value: Refused Planning Applications, Overdue Fees, Outstanding Grants, Railway Schemes,...

The deeds to my property can not be found. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Bakewell 5 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?

These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should be aware precisely where to locate all the appropriate documentation so you may purchase or dispose of your property without a hitch. Where copies can’t be found, your lawyer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on the premises.

We are a couple of weeks into a freehold purchase having been recommend to a firm by the selling agent to execute conveyancing in Bakewell. We are not happy. Can you help me find new lawyers?

A solicitor would have to be very poor in order to consider changing them. Has your loan offer been issued? If so you need to make them aware of the new contact details and get the mortgage documents are re-issued. The conveyancer needs to be on the banks approved list to avoid escalating expenses and delays. That should be your first question of the new solicitors. The search tool can help you find a lender approved solicitor for your conveyancing in Bakewell

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Bakewell. Before I get started I would like to find out the remaining lease term.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Bakewell - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details 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 bought a ground floor flat in Bakewell, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen 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 Bakewell with over 90 years remaining are worth £202,000. The ground rent is £60 per annum. The lease ends on 21st October 2082

With only 57 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £28,500 and £33,000 as well as legals.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
