I have recentlybeen informed that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Castle Eden for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Castle Eden conveyancing specialists.
I am buying a new build house in Castle Eden with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my solicitor about the deal as it will adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I decided to have a survey done on a house in Castle Eden in advance of retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend refuse to grant a mortgage on a flying freehold house.

What advice can you give us when it comes to finding a Castle Eden conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?
When appointing a solicitor for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Castle Eden conveyancing firm) it is most important that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you make enquires with two or three firms including non Castle Eden conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be helpful:
-
What volume of lease extensions has the firm carried out in Castle Eden in the last 12 months? What are the charges for lease extension conveyancing?
I purchased a leasehold flat in Castle Eden, conveyancing was carried out 7 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Castle Eden with over 90 years remaining are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease terminates on 21st October 2088
With 62 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £17,100 and £19,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should 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. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
