I hired a Common Edge based firm for our conveyancing in Common Edge last week. Reviewing the official terms of business I noteI am on the hook for charges even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and instruct an internet firm advertising no completion no cost conveyancing in Common Edge?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to cover those cases that do not go ahead. You should be mindful that such schemes rarely protect you from outlay by way of example Common Edge conveyancing search expenses.
When can the exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Common Edge and am I required to attend the lawyers office?
Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Common Edge you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the sale agreement is not the important part. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Common Edge)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I am selling my home in Common Edge. Does my conveyancing practitioner need to be required to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently at the moment.
Should commercial conveyancing searches disclose impending roadworks that could impact a commercial land in Common Edge?

What makes a Common Edge lease defective?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Common Edge. Most leases are drafted differently and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain clauses are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall
A defective lease will likely cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Accord Mortgages Ltd, Chelsea Building Society, and Barclays Direct all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to withdraw.
I purchased a ground floor flat in Common Edge, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen 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? Corresponding flats in Common Edge with a long lease are worth £222,000. The ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2095
You have 71 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
I happen to be an executor of my recently deceased mum’s Will, with a house in Common Edge which is to be sold. The bungalow is unregistered at the Land Registry and I'm told that some purchasers will insist that it is in place before they will move forward. What's the procedure for this?
In the circumstances that you have set out it seems prudent to seek to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. HMLR’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
