It may have been a long time coming a loan offer from Santander for the remortgage of my single bedroom apartment is coming by the end of next week. Can you propose a low cost conveyancing lawyer in Cowes?
You are on the wrong site if you are in need of the cheapest conveyancing in Cowes. Our intention is to offer excellent value conveyancing but our intention is not to advertise as being the cheapest. Avoid the trap of appointing companies offering low cost conveyancing in Cowes. The optimum outcome, in deciding on cheap conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst you will end up paying a lot in extras and still not receive the service expected.
Our god-son is in the process of securing a newly built flat in Cowes with a home loan from Barclays. His lawyer has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Barclays conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Barclays conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Having sold my house in Cowes last February but my buyer keeps SMS messaging me to moan that her conveyancer needs to hear from mysolicitor. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Following your disposal your solicitor should deliver the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. If applicable, your conveyancer should also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been paid off to the purchasers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities just for conveyancing in Cowes.
Do I have to have a meeting at the offices of the solicitor to sign the legal charge? If so, I will appoint a lawyer who conducts conveyancing in Cowes so that I can attend their offices when needed.
As opposed to 15 years ago, most lenders no longer require their conveyancing panel lawyer to witness the borrowers signature. You will still be obliged to provide ID documents and there are still distinct advantages to using a locally based ayer, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Cowes.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Cowes. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared.
I have recently realised that I have 72 years unexpired on my lease in Cowes. I need to get lease extension but my freeholder is missing. What options are available to me?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. You will be obliged to prove that you have done all that could be expected to locate the lessor. For most situations an enquiry agent should be helpful to carry out a search and to produce an expert document to be used as evidence that the freeholder can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor in relation to devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Cowes.
I own a 1st floor flat in Cowes, conveyancing having been completed 4 years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Comparable flats in Cowes with an extended lease are worth £185,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2085
You have 60 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £20,000 and £23,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
