Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Calne

I am acquiring a property without a mortgage in Calne. I have lived for the last 20 years in Calne. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?

In the absence of a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Calne conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your conveyancer will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches done, but she is duty bound to take that path of guidance. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to dispose of the house at a future date, it could be of importance to your prospective purchaser what the searches reveal. Sometimes properties with day to day issues can still throw up adverse search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Calne should provide you some practical guidance here.

Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a online directory to to identify solicitors on the Earl Shilton BS conveyancing panel for instance in Calne?

We would not expect to be advised of any plans on the part of the BSA to develop such a search facility.

I can not fathom if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called my Calne building society branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Calne conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?

Your lawyer has to follow the CML Handbook section two provisions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

I am selling my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Leeds Building Society are being a right pain. The Calne solicitor who is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Leeds Building Society are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Leeds Building Society have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Leeds Building Society have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Leeds Building Society may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

My offer on a detached house in Calne has been accepted, the owners do nevertheless have an associated purchase. The sellers have put an offer on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Calne. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance?

It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Calne conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your lawyer is on the Kent Reliance approved list. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Calne.

I'm converting the mortgage on my primary home to a buy to let mortgage with Barclays and intend to use the remaining equity as a deposit on further house. The area we are talking about is Calne. Will your conveyancers be able to act for both sets of lenders and tie in the two deals?

Do use our search tool on this site to be sure that the solicitors are approved by both banks. On the basis that they are your solicitor should be able to tie up the two conveyancing matters but you should talk with you solicitor and make clear your desired outcome and needs.

My step-father has encouraged me to instruct his conveyancing solicitors in Calne. Should I find my own solicitor?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Calne conveyancing lawyer the best way to find a conveyancing lawyer is to have guidance from friends or family who have actually previously instructed the firm you're considering.

I am hoping to exchange soon on a garden flat in Calne. Conveyancing solicitors have said that they are sending me a report tomorrow. What should I be looking out for?

The report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Calne should include some of the following:

    Specifying your rights in relation to the communal areas in the block.For instance, does the lease grant a right of way over an accessway or staircase? Rent payments - how much and what the invoice dates are, and also know whether this is subject to change Does the lease prohibit wood flooring? Who has the liability for repairing the window frames Information concerning the obligations in the lease to to contribute towards maintenance costs - in relation to the building, and the more general rights a lessee enjoys
For details of the information to be included in your report on your leasehold property in Calne please ask your conveyancer in advance of your conveyancing in Calne.

I inherited a ground floor flat in Calne, conveyancing was carried out June 2002. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Comparable properties in Calne with an extended lease are worth £197,000. The ground rent is £55 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2081

With just 55 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £31,400 and £36,200 plus legals.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
