I am purchasing a house without a mortgage in Ferring. I have resided for the last dozen years in Ferring. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I know the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then almost all of the Ferring conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she is duty bound to take that path of encouragement . Do consider; if you are intend to dispose of the house one day, it could be of relevance to your prospective purchaser what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with apparent issues can still throw up unpredicted search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Ferring should be able to give you some sensible advice in this regard.
I am helping my step-mother sell her flat in Ferring. Does the solicitor order the EPC or do I organise this?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s was retained a mandatory element of selling a house. An energy performance certificate must be commissioned before the property is marketed. It is not something that lawyers normally organise. Where you are using a Ferring conveyancing practitioner they may be able to arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with reputable Ferring energy assessors
My aunt informed me that in purchasing a property in Ferring there may be a number of restrictions as to what one can do in terms of external changes to a property. Is this right?

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Nottingham. Ferring conveyancing lawyers have been appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Nottingham?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Nottingham completed the survey? Have you advised Nottingham as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Edwardian property in Ferring. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking Accord Mortgages Ltd to clarify?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Ferring and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
I have been recommended by a few estate agents in Ferring to find a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your services rather than another?
We refuse to make any commission for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

I am attracted to a couple of flats in Ferring both have in the region of fifty years left on the leases. should I be concerned?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As a lease gets shorter the saleability of the lease decreases and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We advise that you get professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.
I own a basement flat in Ferring, conveyancing formalities finalised in 1999. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Corresponding properties in Ferring with a long lease are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2092
With just 66 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £12,400 and £14,200 plus costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
