Would the conveyancing lawyers to be found on your site carry out auction conveyancing in Colne?

There are a number of auction lawyers we can put you in touch with those who can conduct auction conveyancing. Colne is just one of hundreds of locations where our lawyers are based.

When will exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Colne and am I required to attend the lawyers branch?

If you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Colne you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply a countrywide conveyancing service and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Colne)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property can not be found. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Colne 10 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?

Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should know exactly where to look for all the relevant paperwork so you may purchase or dispose of your property without any difficulty. If copies can’t be located, your solicitor can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your premises.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Colne benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my lawyer about the deal as it could put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Colne. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Colne - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I purchased a basement flat in Colne, conveyancing having been completed August 2007. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable flats in Colne with a long lease are worth £265,000. The ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2101

With just 76 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
