Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Brantham

I was notified yesterday by my broker that my Brantham solicitor is not on the bank Conveyancing panel. How can I check?

Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Brantham costs more?

In summary, leasehold conveyancing in Brantham and Suffolk usually warrants more due diligence compared to freehold transactions. This includes reviewing the lease, liaising with the landlord concerning the service of required notices, securing up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining the freeholder’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – regardless of the fact the lease has passed through many different property solicitors hands since it was first granted.

I have been told that property searches are the main cause of stalling in Brantham conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the common causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Brantham.

I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Brantham I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Brantham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Brantham. Conveyancing and The Mortgage Works mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing solicitor in Brantham who acted for me is not around. Any advice?

First contact HMLR to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to incur the fees of a Brantham conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. You should note that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

I invested in buying a split level flat in Brantham, conveyancing having been completed 3 years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Similar properties in Brantham with a long lease are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2089

With 64 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £14,300 and £16,400 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

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

At long last our conveyancing in Brantham is completing this Friday, yet the owners I am buying off has asked to move out on the Saturday midday. Should I accept such a idea?

Where you need a mortgage then your lawyer will insist that the property isvacant on Friday - the lending institution will compel it.
