I am in the throes of porting my current residential mortgage to a BTL Coventry Building Society mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I need a solicitor as part of the process. I got in contact with the same Birchgrove conveyancing firm who acted on my behalf when I initially purchased the premises. The quote e-mailed to me of just over five hundred pounds is surprising as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s just a bog-standard refinance.
The quote is slightly on the high side. Where you are prepared to spend time comparing charges you could shave off some of the cost by as much as a hundred pounds. On the other hand, assuming were happy with the conveyancing the firm provided you mightcome to rue opting for an an unknown lawyer. Remember to check that the conveyancer can also act for Coventry Building Society.

I am approaching an exchange on a flat in Birchgrove and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my conveyancing practitioner. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancing practitioner needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the mortgage company concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to hold matters up?
The lawyer is duty bound to clarify with the bank to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only notify this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Birchgrove and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Birchgrove conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Birchgrove. We have lived in Birchgrove for six years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)

Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Birchgrove I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Birchgrove for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
