My partner and I are purchasing our first home. Our conveyancer has messagedto ask if we would like to order additional conveyancing searches. Unfortunately we in the dark as to what's needed for conveyancing in Fulwood
The quantity and type of Fulwood conveyancing searches should be triggered based entirely on the premises, the location, the likelihood of any of these risks, your knowledge of the area and risks, your overall appetite to risk. What matters is that you properly comprehend what information the searches could supply. You may then make a decision if you consider that you need that search. Where you are unsure, ask the property lawyer to recommend.
What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Fulwood? Why is this being asked of me?
You are right in these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Fulwood. However these days you can not proceed with any conveyancing transaction if you have not providing evidence of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence as well as a council tax bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as proof of ID it needs to be both the paper element and photo card part, one is not acceptable without the other.
Proof of the origin of monies is mandated in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. Don’t be offended when when this is requested of you as your lawyer must retain this information on record. Your Fulwood conveyancing lawyer will need to see evidence of proof of funds prior to accepting any funds from you into their client account and they should also ask additional questions concerning the origin of monies.
Does a directory service exist listing UBS panel conveyancers in Fulwood on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such tool on the CML or Building Society Association sites. Very few lending institutions make their panel listings visible over the internet. Where you are in need of a Fulwood conveyancer on the UBS please use our tool.
My wife and I have arranged the release of further funds on our mortgage from RBS as we want to conduct renovations to our house in Fulwood. Do we need to select a nearby Fulwood solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
RBS don't usually instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the RBS panel.
It is not clear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Fulwood building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Fulwood conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the conveyancer is on the lender panel, they must follow the CML Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to finding a Fulwood conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?
If you are instructing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Fulwood conveyancing firm) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We suggest that you talk with several firms including non Fulwood conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be useful:
-
How experienced is the practice with lease extension legislation? What volume of lease extensions has the firm completed in Fulwood in the last twenty four months?
I bought a leasehold flat in Fulwood, conveyancing was carried out in 2003. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Fulwood with a long lease are worth £195,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2087
You have 63 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £16,200 and £18,600 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
