Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bingham

I was recommended to a lawyer who has quoted £1700 for no move no fee conveyancing in Bingham. I’m selling a Edwardian house for £175,000. This appears too much. Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Bingham?

The charges are a bit high. Where you are prepared to spend time contrasting prices you might reduce the fees marginally by say £100 plus VAT. On the other hand, you maylive to rue opting for an an untested lawyer. Don't forget to be sure the conveyancer can act for your bank.

I happen to be the sole recipient of my late mum's will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Bingham. The Bingham property was put into my name in January. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in January. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. many mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this provision is principally there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.

I am buying a property in Bingham. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. HSBC have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that your lender is HSBC your lawyer must comply with the formal requirements contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for HSBC. The CML Handbook contains minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to HSBC where a lease fails to satisfy these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Bingham.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Barclays. I assume I don't need a Bingham property lawyer on the Barclays panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Barclays mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Barclays mortgage from the register. Barclays, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Barclays has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Barclays has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Barclays mortgage has been paid off.

I need some quick conveyancing in Bingham as I am under pressure to exchange contracts within one month. Thankfully I do not require a mortgage. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?

As you are not getting a home loan you are at liberty not to have searches carried out although no conveyancer would recommend that you don't. Drawing on our experience of conveyancing in Bingham the following are instances of issues that can arise and therefore affect future saleability: Enforcement Actions, Outstanding Fees, Overdue Grants, Unadopted Roads,...

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Bingham is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Bingham are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bingham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bingham may decide 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.

Taking into account that I will soon spend £400,000 on a garden flat in Bingham I would like to have a conversation with the solicitor concerning thehouse move before appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?

We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the conveyancer due to be doing your conveyancing in Bingham.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique individual, not a file number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for residential conveyancing in Bingham should be the figure that you are charged.

Expecting to complete next month on a garden flat in Bingham. Conveyancing solicitors inform me that they are sending me a report within the next couple of days. What should I be looking out for?

The report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Bingham should include some of the following:

    You should be told what constitutes a Nuisance as far as the lease is concerned Rent payments - what is payable and what the invoice dates are, and also know whether this is subject to change You should have a good understanding of the insurance requirements Details of the parties to the lease, for instance these could be the (you), superior lessor, landlord
For details of the information to be contained in your report on your leasehold property in Bingham please ask your solicitor in advance of your conveyancing in Bingham.

I invested in buying a studio flat in Bingham, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2012. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent properties in Bingham with over 90 years remaining are worth £171,000. The ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease runs out on 21st October 2104

With only 79 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £7,600 and £8,800 plus professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
