When does exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Brixworth and do I need to attend the solicitors office?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Brixworth you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply a nationwide conveyancing service and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally.

The mortgage over my property is with Lloyds for my property in Brixworth. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Lloyds?
Lloyds must be informed of your intention before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Lloyds’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Lloyds will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Lloyds directly. You need not do this via a Lloyds conveyancing panel lawyer.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Brixworth is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Brixworth are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Brixworth you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Brixworth 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 premises.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden apartment in Brixworth. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is pay the service charge as usual as all rents and service charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I purchased a 2 bed flat in Brixworth, conveyancing was carried out January 2003. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent flats in Brixworth with over 90 years remaining are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease ends on 21st October 2093
With only 67 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £10,500 and £12,000 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
