If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Craven Arms what would it be?

It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Craven Arms conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.

I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Craven Arms. The Craven Arms property was put into my name in January. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in January. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you may be caught by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this obligation primarily exists to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of property.

I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Craven Arms bank branch on various occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Craven Arms conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?

Your lawyer must comply with the CML Handbook section two specifications for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Craven Arms I like with a park and station nearby, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Craven Arms suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Craven Arms with the purpose of saving time on the sale process?

Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Craven Arms can be reduced if you get in touch lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ lawyers.

You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but you should double-check by asking your solicitors. A purchaser's conveyancer will be unlikely to recommend their client to where the remaining number of years is less than 80 years. In the circumstances it is important at an early stage that you identify whether the lease term requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale.

In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Craven Arms state that internal structural changes or addition of wooden flooring require a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such alterations. If you fail to have the paperwork to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your lawyer in the first instance.

If there is a history of conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are settled prior to the flat being put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is a current dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic as opposed to unresolved.
