Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Danescourt. I would like to know the reason why all Danescourt conveyancers are not on all mortgage company panels?
Mortgage Companies normally restrict either the nature or volume of conveyancing practices on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such criteria being that the organisation needs to have two or more partners. As well as restricting the structure of firm, some have made a decision to restrict the size of their panel they permit to act for them. It is worth noting that building societies have no liability for the accuracy of service provided by any Danescourt conveyancing practitioner on their panel. Increases in mortgage fraud was the primary trigger for the rationalisation of solicitor panels a few years ago even though there are opposing points of view concerning the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics via HM Land Registry exposes that thousands of conveyancing firms only conduct a couple of conveyances annually. Those vindicating conveyancing panel culls ask why law firms deserve claim to remain on a conveyancing panel when it is apparent that property law is not their primary expertise?
My wife and I swapping mortgage lender for our maisonette in Danescourt with Barclays. We have a son approaching twenty who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the property is repossessed. I have a couple of concerns (1) Is this document specific to the Barclays conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we remortgaged 5 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this extinguish his rights to inherit the property?
On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Barclays. This is solely used to protect Barclays if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Barclays had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.
I have todaybecome aware that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Danescourt for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to check if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Danescourt conveyancing specialists.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Danescourt I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Danescourt for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
What does commercial conveyancing in Danescourt cover?

For instance, this type of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more usually, the assignment of existing business tenancies or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial loans and the termination of leases.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Danescourt. Before diving in I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Danescourt - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
Danescourt Leasehold Conveyancing - A selection of Queries before Purchasing

Where a Danescourt lease has less than 80 years it will impact the marketability of the apartment. It is worth checking with your bank that they are content with remaining years on the lease. A short lease means that you will most likely require a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth finding out what this would cost. Remember, in most cases you would need to own the premises for a couple of years in order to be entitled to extend the lease. Plenty Danescourt leasehold apartments will have a service charge for the upkeep of the building set by the landlord. Where you purchase the property you will have to pay this charge, usually in instalments during the year. This could be anything from a couple of hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for buildings with lifts and large communal grounds. In all likelihood there will be a ground rent for you to pay yearly, normally this is not a exorbitant figure, say approximately £50-£100 but you need to enquire as sometimes it can be surprisingly expensive. Is anyone aware of any major works in the planning that will likely increase the maintenance fees?
