Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Geddington

I went with a Geddington based lawyer for our conveyancing in Geddington recently. Going through the small print I noteI am liable for costs even if the dealfalls through. Should I ditch them and instruct an on-line lawyer promising no completion no charge conveyancing in Geddington?

Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to counteract the transactions that do not proceed. Also remember that these offerings generally do not cover expenses such your Geddington conveyancing search expenses.

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Geddington? Why is this being asked of me?

It is indeed that case that these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Geddington. Nowadays you can not complete any conveyancing deal without first supplying proof of your identity. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence as well as a utility bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as proof of ID it must be both the paper element and photo card part, one is not satisfactory in the absence of the other.

Proof of the origin of money is mandated under Money Laundering Regulations. You should not be offended when when this is requested of you as your conveyancer must retain this information on record. Your Geddington conveyancing lawyer will need to see evidence of proof of funds before they are able to accept any money from you into their client account and they may also ask further questions concerning the origin of funds.

What are your top tips when it comes to finding a Geddington conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?

If you are instructing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Geddington conveyancing practice) it is most important that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We recommend that you speak with several firms including non Geddington conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be of use:

    What volume of lease extensions has the firm completed in Geddington in the last twenty four months? How familiar is the practice with lease extension legislation?

I bought a studio flat in Geddington, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar properties in Geddington with an extended lease are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 charged once a year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2083

With just 58 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £22,800 and £26,400 as well as 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 without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns 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.

Myself and my fiance have recently had an offer agreed on a apartment and had meeting on Wednesday with Nationwide for the mortgage. They warned us that when it comes to appointing a solicitor that if they are not on their approved panel of property lawyers then we will be subject to an an extra charge of about two hundred pounds. This is because they would then have to select a solicitor to act on their behalf in addition to the one we appoint for ourselves and we will be on the hook for their costs. I have asked Nationwide to supply me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?

Ask Nationwide what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Nationwide previously. If the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Nationwide. Alternatively please use our search facility and we may be able to identify a conveyancer in Geddington on the approved list for Nationwide.
