Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Diss

At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Diss and am I required to be at the conveyancers branch?

Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Diss you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with provide a countrywide conveyancing service and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Diss)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would much rather use a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Diss?

You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors if you want the "fee-free" incentive. Call the bank to ask if they make available a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Diss.

Can I be sure that the Diss conveyancing solicitor on the Co-operative panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Diss getting recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advocate that you speak with the lawyer handling your conveyancing.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. I assume I don't need a Diss property lawyer on the Leeds Building Society panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Leeds Building Society mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Leeds Building Society mortgage from the register. Leeds Building Society, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Leeds Building Society has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Leeds Building Society has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Leeds Building Society mortgage has been paid off.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Diss. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Diss

    Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

I am looking at a two flats in Diss which have in the region of forty five years remaining on the leases. Do I need to be concerned?

There are plenty of short leases in Diss. The lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As a lease gets shorter the value of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more expensive to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.

I acquired a basement flat in Diss, conveyancing having been completed September 2003. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar properties in Diss with over 90 years remaining are worth £211,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 2093

With only 68 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £9,500 and £11,000 plus legals.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.

I am seeking to acquire a repossessed property in Diss and the vendor require completion inside 28 days. Can a conveyancer complete in this timeframe? Would it be better to use a local Diss firm or an online conveyancer that advertises to complete quickly?
