Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Cirencester

My wife and I are only a couple days away from an exchange on a flat in Cirencester and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my solicitor. I am now advised that as the deposit has been received from someone other than me my conveyancer needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. Apparently, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I informed the lender about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to hold matters up?

The property lawyer is obliged to check with lender to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only notify this to your mortgage company if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Cirencester. I I am struggling to find out whether they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?

Historically registration is effected after the buyer is living at the property so post completion formalities is not usually primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent told us that the vendor will only move forward if we use the agent's recommended lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Cirencester

It is improbable the owners are behind this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to use your preferred Cirencester conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.

All being well we will complete the sale of our £350,000 garden flat in Cirencester in just under a week. The management company has quoted £360 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and previous years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Cirencester?

Cirencester conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes normally necessitates the buyer’s lawyer sending questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to address these enquiries most will be willing to assist. They are entitled to levy a reasonable charge for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it exceeds £800. The administration charge invoiced by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of rights and obligations in relation to administration fees, otherwise the invoice is technically not due. Reality however dictates that one has no choice but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to sell the property.

I invested in buying a garden flat in Cirencester, conveyancing having been completed March 2003. How much will my lease extension cost? Comparable properties in Cirencester with over 90 years remaining are worth £222,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease finishes on 21st October 2096

You have 71 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
