We are aiming to move home in July. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Bradwell. Conveyancing lawyer was found prior to coming across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the estate agent however this should only occur once the previous owners solicitors confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. After that you can advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Bradwell or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Bradwell.
We are getting the release of further monies on our mortgage from UBS as we intend to conduct a loft conversion to our property in Bradwell. Are we obliged to appoint a high street Bradwell solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
UBS don't usually appoint a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the UBS panel.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with TSB. I assume I don't need a Bradwell lawyer on the TSB panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your TSB 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 TSB mortgage from the register. TSB, 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:
- but are not moving to another property
- where TSB has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- TSB has instructed the Land Registry to do so
4 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Bradwell completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am purchasing a new build house in Bradwell with a mortgage from Barnsley Building Society. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not disclose to my solicitor about this side-deal as it would adversely affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
My husband and I are 18 days into a freehold purchase having been referred to conveyancers by the high street agent to execute conveyancing in Bradwell. I am am very frustrated with the quality of service. Can you help me find new lawyers?
A solicitor would have to be very bad in order to consider replacing them. Has your loan offer been generated? In the event that it has you must make them aware of the replacement lawyer and ensure the offer are issued to the new lawyers. Your new solicitor ideally should be on the lenders approved list to avoid supplemental charges and delays. That should be your starting point.

We expect to complete the disposal of our £475,000 flat in Bradwell next Wednesday. The managing agents has quoted £420 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and 3 years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Bradwell?
Bradwell conveyancing on leasehold apartments more often than not involves the purchaser’s lawyer submitting enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to respond to such questions most will be content to do so. They may levy a reasonable administration fee for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some cases it exceeds £800. The management information fee required by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration charges, without which the charge is technically not due. In reality you have little option but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to exchange contracts with the buyer.
I inherited a basement flat in Bradwell, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Comparable properties in Bradwell with a long lease are worth £202,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £60 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 2082
With 56 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £29,500 and £34,000 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
Why do Bradwell conveyancing charges are higher for leasehold and freehold properties?
If buying a leasehold property there is more work involved purely due to the fact that usually there are further parties involved in the form of the freeholder and/or Management Agents. As part of a lawyers enquiries they will check that all ground rent and service charges are paid up to date amongst other general leasehold matters. For this reason, the Sellers lawyers usually have to refer to the freeholder or Managing Agent for their replies to our questions. This may be time consuming and beyond the lawyers control
