Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Gamston

It is 10 years ago since I acquired my house in Gamston. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I can't track down my title documents. Is this a major issue?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by your lender or they may stored with the conveyancers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Gamston involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

Can you help - my lawyer advises that lack of planning permission insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Gamston conveyancing?

The right level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Santander and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

We are getting the release of further monies on our home loan from Yorkshire BS as we intend to conduct a loft conversion to our property in Gamston. Do we need to select a high street Gamston solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel to handle the legals?

Yorkshire BS don't usually require firms on their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.

I am buying a property in Gamston. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender TSB be concerned?

As your lender is TSB your lawyer must follow the formal requirements set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The CML Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to TSB where a lease does not meet these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Gamston.

2 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Gamston took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

How does conveyancing in Gamston differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Gamston approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because developers in Gamston tend to buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Gamston or who has acted in the same development.

What makes a Gamston lease unacceptable for security purposes?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Gamston. Most leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain provisions are erroneous. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage

A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Santander, The Royal Bank of Scotland, and Godiva Mortgages Ltd all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to pull out.

I purchased a 1st floor flat in Gamston, conveyancing having been completed 3 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar properties in Gamston with an extended lease are worth £265,000. The ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease runs out on 21st October 2101

With just 76 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
