Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Colerne

Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Colerne is more expensive?

Colerne leasehold conveyancing transactions usually involve additional investigations than freeholds including investigating the Lease, liaising with the Landlord such as serving appropriate notices on the Landlord or managing agent, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining Landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts and formation documents.

My friend recommended that where I am buying in Colerne I should ask my conveyancer to perform a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

A search of this type is sometimes included in the estimate for your Colerne conveyancing searches. It is a large document of about 40 pages, listing and detailing important information about Colerne around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Colerne Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Local Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data concerning Colerne.

I have a semi-detached Georgian house in Colerne. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Santander. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Colerne and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.

I am buying a new build house in Colerne benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my solicitor about the side-deal as it may jeopardize my mortgage with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Is this normal?.

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.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Colerne I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Colerne in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you require a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

I have today placed an offer on a leasehold flat in Colerne and the broker that we are using recommended his conveyancing practitioner. He quoted £800 including VAT and disbursements. Does this sound reasonable?

You should not rely on 1 quote. You should obtain like-for-like quotes for your conveyancing in Colerne. Then choose one that you are comfortable with and crucially, is on the approved panel of the mortgage company that you have applied for a mortgage from.
