Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Dunchurch

My best friend’s mother is a conveyancing practitioner. I am hopeful that I will receive friends and family pricing for conveyancing, However if that does not come materialise, what level of figure should I be expecting for conveyancing in Dunchurch?

It’s prudent to look for multiple conveyancing estimates. Make use of our comparison tool on this page. The amounts do vary but the service one can expect differ between law firms as is true with most professions.

We are only a couple days away from an exchange on a property in Dunchurch and my parents have sent the 10% deposit to my property lawyer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancer needs to disclose this to my mortgage company. I am advised that, in also acting for the bank he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the bank about my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?

The solicitor is duty bound to check with lender to ensure that they understand that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

Will commercial conveyancing searches reveal impending roadworks that may impact a commercial site in Dunchurch?

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Dunchurch will carry out a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers spend in sourcing accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Dunchurch. The report sets out definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Dunchurch.

For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Dunchurch it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site.

These searches are not ordered for domestic conveyancing in Dunchurch.

How does conveyancing in Dunchurch differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Dunchurch come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Dunchurch usually purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Dunchurch or who has acted in the same development.

What makes a Dunchurch lease unmortgageable?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Dunchurch. All leases are individual and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain sections are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    Insurance obligations A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the building

You will encounter difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. HSBC Bank, Bank of Scotland, and Barclays Direct all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to withdraw.

I acquired a 1 bedroom flat in Dunchurch, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Comparable properties in Dunchurch with an extended lease are worth £191,000. The ground rent is £55 per annum. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2078

With 53 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £27,600 and £31,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
