Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bramford

We are buying a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Bramford who is on the Clydesdale solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Clydesdale . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Bramford.

I am refinancing my home in Bramford, does my lawyer have to be on the Co-operative Conveyancing panel?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, but Co-operative would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

4 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Bramford took place. 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 property 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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Bramford is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Bramford are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bramford you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bramford may determine 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.

I am one month into a freehold purchase having been recommend to conveyancers by the selling agent to do our conveyancing in Bramford. I am not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new lawyers?

They would have to be very poor to suggest diss instructing them. Has the mortgage been issued? In the event that it has you will need to advise them of the replacement lawyer and get the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. Your conveyancer needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid supplemental charges and complications. So that should be your starting point.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only Seventy years left on my lease in Bramford. I now want to extend my lease but my freeholder is absent. What options are available to me?

On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have made all reasonable attempts to track down the landlord. In some cases an enquiry agent would be useful to try and locate and to produce a report which can be used as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer in relation to proving the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Bramford.
