Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a first time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Billingshurst. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Billingshurst?

On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Billingshurst.

This tends to happen early afternoon.

is it true that all Billingshurst solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As solicitors, in order to be on the Leeds Building Society approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some mortgage companies do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the firms would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Principality are being difficult. The Billingshurst solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Principality are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality 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.

Last June I purchased a leasehold property in Billingshurst. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

I bought a 1 bedroom flat in Billingshurst, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2001. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Billingshurst with an extended lease are worth £202,000. The ground rent is £60 invoiced annually. The lease terminates on 21st October 2082

You have 57 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to range between £28,500 and £33,000 plus professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
