Is it the case that all Boldon conveyancing solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Principality conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be overseen by the CLC.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Boldon accepted, the sellers do however have a connected purchase. The owners have put an offer on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Boldon. What do I do now? When should I get the mortgage application with Clydesdale started?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Boldon conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many buyers will apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to move forward with searches.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Boldon?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Boldon. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
Am I right to be concerned by brokers that I am dealing with are recommending a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Boldon conveyancing practice?
As with many professional services, often recommendations from connections can be worth their weight in gold. But there are lots of parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders may recommend conveyancers to use. Sometimes these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there might be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are free to appoint your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that most banks specify a panel list of solicitors you have to use for the lender aspect of your home move.
I am employed by a busy estate agent office in Boldon where we see a few leasehold sales derailed due to short leases. I have received conflicting advice from local Boldon conveyancing solicitors. Please can you clarify whether the owner of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
I acquired a basement flat in Boldon, conveyancing was carried out May 2010. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Boldon with a long lease are worth £195,000. The ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease ceases on 21st October 2088
With only 64 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £14,300 and £16,400 plus professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. 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 should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
