Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Earls Barton

My fiance and I are looking to purchase a home in Earls Barton and have instructed a Earls Barton conveyancing firm. Within the past 48 hours our lawyer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through in anticipation of exchanging contracts shortly. Chelsea Building Society have this evening contacted us to advise us that there is now an issue as our Earls Barton solicitor is not on their approved list of lawyers. Please explain?

When purchasing a property with the benefit of a mortgage it is standard for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your mortgage company and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on the bank's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Earls Barton lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Earls Barton? Why is this being asked of me?

It is indeed that case that these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Earls Barton. However these days you can not complete any conveyancing transaction without first handing over proof of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence plus a utility bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as proof of ID it must be both the paper section and photo card part, one is not satisfactory without the other.

Proof of your source of money is necessary in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. You should not be offended when when this is requested of you as your lawyer will need to retain this information on record. Your Earls Barton conveyancing practitioner will require evidence of proof of funds before they are able to accept any funds from you into their client account and they may also ask additional queries regarding the source of funds.

First you will need to check the number of years remaining. As a tenant you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want to the property. The lease comes with conditions for example requiring the landlord’spermission to carry out alterations.

I purchased a 1 bedroom flat in Earls Barton, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Similar flats in Earls Barton with an extended lease are worth £179,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2082

With just 57 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £26,600 and £30,800 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 comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer.
