Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Fradley

Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Fradley. I would like to know the logic why all Fradley conveyancing practitioners are not on all bank panels?

Lenders highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The dismissal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. It led to lenders pruning a number of firms off their books of approved conveyancing practitioners .

Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Fradley is more expensive?

The conveyancing charges for a leasehold property in Fradley is inevitably higher when contrasted to a freehold acquisition or disposal. This is because there is an amount of supplemental work necessary in communicating with the landlord and managing agents to collate the evidence about whether the rent and maintenance fee have been discharged and whether there are any large sums expected to be spent in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the building.

Is it the case that all Fradley solicitor practices on the Barclays conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As solicitors, in order to be on the Barclays conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of mortgage companies do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

We had selected conveyancing lawyers with offices in Fradley on the Nationwide solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a supplemental charge for handling the Nationwide mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Nationwide?

Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancer can charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Nationwide but by your Fradley conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Nationwide panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.

I am expecting a DIP from Yorkshire BS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Yorkshire BS recommend any Fradley solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Fradley solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Yorkshire BS through the process.

I am purchasing my first flat in Fradley with a loan from Skipton Building Society. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my lawyer about this side-deal as it could impact my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Are there common defects that you see in leases for Fradley properties?

Leasehold conveyancing in Fradley is not unique. All leases are individual and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain provisions are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts. Repairing obligations to or maintain parts of the premises

You could encounter a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Accord Mortgages Ltd, Norwich and Peterborough Building Society, and Godiva Mortgages Ltd all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the purchaser to pull out.

I invested in buying a leasehold flat in Fradley, conveyancing formalities finalised December 2012. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Fradley with over 90 years remaining are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease runs out on 21st October 2090

You have 65 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £13,300 and £15,400 as well as legals.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
