Please help. My Delabole lawyer is informing me me that he is legally obliged toconduct Delabole conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the Santanderconveyancing panel. These Delabole checks cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a home loan with a mortgage company your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Delabole conveyancing searches.
My Conveyancer in Delabole is not listed on the Aldermore Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to retain my family solicitor even though they are not on the Aldermore approved list?
Your options are as follows:
- Carry on with your existing Delabole solicitors but Aldermore will need to use a lawyer on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional total legal fees as well as result in delays.
- Choose an alternative lawyer to act in the purchase, remembering to check they are Aldermore approved.
- Persuade your Aldermore based solicitor to seek to join the Aldermore panel
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time purchaser of a garden flat in Delabole. Do I receive the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Delabole?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be called to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Barclays. Delabole conveyancing lawyers were selected. How long does it take for Barclays to forward the offer to the conveyancer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Barclays completed the survey? Have you advised Barclays as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Barclays conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

Last January I purchased a leasehold flat in Delabole. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I purchased a garden flat in Delabole, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Corresponding properties in Delabole with over 90 years remaining are worth £186,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease ends on 21st October 2078
With 53 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £27,600 and £31,800 plus costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
