Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Gainsborough

At long last a loan offer from HSBC for the remortgage of my single room maisonette is coming any day now. Could you propose a cheap conveyancing practitioner in Gainsborough?

This site is not designed to aid those in their quest for the cheapest conveyancing solicitors in Gainsborough. We can offer you cost effective conveyancing but we do not aim to advertise as being the cheapest. Avoid the trap of appointing organisations offering low cost conveyancing in Gainsborough. Optimistically, in being led by cheap conveyancing, you will end up with what you pay for and at worst it will result in you paying a lot in additional fees and still not receive the service expected.

My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Gainsborough. I need to find out whether they are on the Chelsea Building Society conveyancing panel. Could you assist?

You should phone the lawyer and enquire if they can act for the bank. Otherwise you should call Chelsea Building Society who may be able to assist.

My wife and I are downsizing from our home in Gainsborough and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Gainsborough conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed an internet conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Gainsborough. We have lived in Gainsborough for six years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

I opted to have a survey done on a house in Gainsborough ahead of instructing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of house.

It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can investigate further via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Gainsborough. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Gainsborough to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Gainsborough. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Gainsborough - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I purchased a 2 bed flat in Gainsborough, conveyancing was carried out in 2008. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar properties in Gainsborough with a long lease are worth £165,000. The ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease expires on 21st October 2102

With only 77 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £7,600 and £8,800 plus costs.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.

Should I be concerned if there is a problem with the searches conducted as part of my conveyancing in Gainsborough?

Normally, most adverse entries arising from Gainsborough conveyancing search responses can be addressed in advance of completion or indemnity insurance can be obtained. You need to note that even though you are acquiring the premises and may be content to accept the search results, your lender may not, and when all said and done they have the word say.
