Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Cottenham costs more?

Cottenham leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.

Do commercial conveyancing searches reveal proposed roadworks that could impact a commercial site in Cottenham?

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Cottenham will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers invest in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Cottenham.

four months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Cottenham completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Cottenham prior to instructing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor has said that some banks may refuse to issue a mortgage on this type of premises.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different requirements from Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can investigate further via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Cottenham. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

We are one month into a leasehold purchase having been directed to a firm by the estate agent to perform conveyancing in Cottenham. We are not happy. Could you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?

They would need to be really poor in order to consider diss instructing them. Has the mortgage offer been sent? If so you will need to advise them of the replacement lawyer and have the loan are re-sent. Your new solicitor ideally should be on the lenders approved list to avoid supplemental costs and complications. So that should be your starting point.
