My best friend’s mother is a conveyancing practitioner. I suspect that I will receive mate’s pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what level of fees should I be paying for conveyancing in Clophill?
Do contrast pricing. Make use of our search tool on this page. The charges do contrast greatly but service levels do differ between conveyancers as is true with most professions.
My son-in-law is buying a house that has just been built in Clophill with a mortgage from UBS. His solicitor has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the UBS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the UBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
What is the first thing I need to know concerning purchase conveyancing in Clophill?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Clophill or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of room for conflict between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the vendor, property agent and on occasion the lender. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Clophill should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the legal process whose interest is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.
On occasion a potential adversary may try and persuade you that you should follow their advice. For example, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your solicitor is slow. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do something that is against your solicitors guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.
Can you clarify what the consequences are if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Leeds Building Society Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Clophill?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in Clophill I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Clophill in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

I inherited a garden flat in Clophill, conveyancing having been completed 5 years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Similar flats in Clophill with a long lease are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2094
With only 69 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £9,500 and £11,000 plus costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
