I am obtaining a mortgage with Lloyds. My intention is to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Felpham. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?
The Lloyds conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
The property market in Felpham is heating up. What can I do to hasten the conveyancing process?
First, If you are under time constraints for your conveyancing it is advisable to make sure that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will make use of local connections and know-how. It is even conceivable that they would have transacted previoushouses in the same street. Therefore consider using a Felpham conveyancing firm. Second, double check that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is claimed that nearly one in five of Felpham conveyancing transactions are delayed or jeopardised after finding out that a buyer’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. This can often result in the home move being delayed by almost three weeks. It is believed that this issue impacts in the region of one hundred thousand home sales annually. Almost all Felpham conveyancing firms can not act for certain mortgage companies so do check at the outset.
I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Felpham for our house move. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage lenders Bank of Scotland won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?

My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, but the property agent has warned us that the vendor will only proceed if we appoint the agent's recommended lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Felpham
It is improbable the owners are driving this. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Felpham conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will give the negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
What are your top tips when it comes to appointing a Felpham conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?
If you are instructing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Felpham conveyancing practice) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We recommend that you talk with several firms including non Felpham conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions might be useful:
-
If the firm is not ALEP accredited then what is the reason? How familiar is the practice with lease extension legislation?
I invested in buying a studio flat in Felpham, conveyancing was carried out in 2011. 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 Felpham with an extended lease are worth £201,000. The ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease runs out on 21st October 2090
With only 65 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £13,300 and £15,400 plus legals.
The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
