I have been recommended a conveyancing solicitor in Canford Heath. I I would like to check whether they are accepted on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Could you help?
You should phone the solicitor and ask them if they can act for the bank. Otherwise please get in touch with Leeds Building Society who may be able to help.
A relative informed me that in buying a property in Canford Heath there may be various restrictions limiting what one can do in terms of external changes to a property. Is this right?

How can we tell if a Canford Heath conveyancing solicitor on the Kent Reliance panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Canford Heath getting recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor conducting your transaction.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Kent Reliance are being pedantic. The Canford Heath solicitor who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Kent Reliance are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Kent Reliance have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Kent Reliance have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Kent Reliance 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.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Canford Heath. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Canford Heath
-
Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Canford Heath is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Canford Heath are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Canford Heath you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Canford Heath 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.
Given that I will soon part with 450k on a garden flat in Canford Heath I wish to have a conversation with the conveyancer regarding thehouse move prior to appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?

What makes a Canford Heath lease unacceptable for security purposes?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Canford Heath. All leases are drafted differently and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain sections are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the property
A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Birmingham Midshires, The Royal Bank of Scotland, and Barclays Direct all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to withdraw.
I purchased a studio flat in Canford Heath, conveyancing having been completed in 1997. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Similar flats in Canford Heath with an extended lease are worth £185,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2086
With only 61 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £18,100 and £20,800 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
