I do hope you can help me. My Chesterton conveyancer is informing me me that she is duty bound toapply for Chesterton conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the Lloydsapproved lawyer panel. These Chesterton searches cost a lot of money can this be avoided?

You have limited options available to you. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Chesterton conveyancing searches.

Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Chesterton is more expensive?

Chesterton leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Chesterton is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Chesterton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Chesterton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Chesterton may ascertain 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 basement apartment in Chesterton. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just received a yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

It best that you pay the maintenance contribution as usual because all ground rent and maintenance charges will be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

    The answer will be useful as a) areas can cause problems in the building as the common areas may start to deteriorate if services remain unpaid b) if the tenants have a dispute with the running of the building you will want to have all the details What is the yearly maintenance fee and ground rent? The prefered form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this situation the leaseholders enjoy control and notwithstanding that a managing agent is often retained if the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent retained by the leaseholders.

My lawyers in Chesterton have advised me that they can not locate my conveyancing file. At the time of my purchase I took out a mortgage with the bank. Is it case that being on the bank conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a number of years?

It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the bank Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the mortgage company directly.
