Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Castelnau

Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Castelnau is not listed on my mortgage company's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of her conveyancing?

It would be unwise to jump to that conclusion. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Castelnau conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

Have purchased a a detached house in Castelnau , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Castelnau conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my ownership is registered.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Castelnau registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any third persons or bodies. At present in the region of 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration is effected once the new owner is living at the property so 'speed' is not usually an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

All being well we will complete the disposal of our £350,000 maisonette in Castelnau on Friday in a week. The management company has quoted £420 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and 3 years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Castelnau?

Castelnau conveyancing on leasehold apartments typically necessitates administration charges levied by managing agents :

    Answering pre-exchange questions Where consent is required before sale in Castelnau Supplying insurance information Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your lawyer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Castelnau leasehold property is £350. For Castelnau conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are obliged to supply the information.

I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without getting anywhere. Can a leaseholder apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Castelnau conveyancing firm to help?

in cases where there is a missing freeholder or if there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to assess the price.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a Castelnau premises is 19 Crisp Road in June 2009. Following a vesting order (Under section 26 of the Leasehold Reform,Housing and Urban Development Act 1993) The tribunal determined that the premium payable for the acquisition of the freehold was £33,756,apportioned as to£12,285 for the lower at and £21,471for the upper fat. This case affected 2 flats. The unexpired term was 68.32 years.
