I opted for a Coombe Dingle based lawyer for our conveyancing in Coombe Dingle last week. Upon checking the official terms of business it is apparent thatI am on the hook for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and choose an on-line firm promoting no move no charge conveyancing in Coombe Dingle?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to neutralise the transactions that abort. Dont forget that these schemes tend not to cover expenditure for instance Coombe Dingle conveyancing search expenses.

I am assisting my sister sell her house in Coombe Dingle. Will the conveyancer arrange the EPC or it is for the seller to see to?
Following the demise of Home Packs, EPC’s remained a mandatory element of moving property. An energy assessment needs to be to hand prior to the property being advertised. It is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors normally arrange. If you are instructing a Coombe Dingle conveyancing lawyer they might help arrange energy assessments due to their contacts with long established Coombe Dingle providers
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Santander. I assume I don't need a Coombe Dingle conveyancer on the Santander panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Santander mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Santander mortgage from the register. Santander, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Santander has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Santander has instructed the Land Registry to do so
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Coombe Dingle. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £175. A few days later, the solicitor called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Lloyds panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Coombe Dingle I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Coombe Dingle suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
All being well we will complete our sale of a £400,000 garden flat in Coombe Dingle in seven days.

Is the landlord entitled to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Coombe Dingle?
Coombe Dingle conveyancing on leasehold apartments usually requires the buyer’s lawyer sending questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to respond to these enquiries the majority will be willing to do so. They may invoice a reasonable administration fee for answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it is in excess of £800. The management information fee required by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of rights and obligations in respect of administration charges, otherwise the charge is not strictly payable. In reality you have no choice but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to sell the property.

Comparable flats in Coombe Dingle with over 90 years remaining are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 2099
With 74 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
My step-mother purchased her house in Coombe Dingle eight years past. She has been married, divorced and is now married again. She intends to market the property in a few months. I think she will just be need to provide a copy of the marriage certificates to the lawyer but she is anxious it could hold up the house sale. Should she appoint a lawyer to update the land title documents for the property?
It is not absolutely necessary to update the title for the property as long as you have the evidence required to show how the change of name occurred.
Any purchaser’s property lawyer should review the registered information and require evidence to establish the change of name e.g. marriage certificates.
