What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Gedling
There are many registered licenced Conveyancers in Gedling and Solicitor partnerships in Gedling who can help with your conveyancing It is important to make clear that both are regulated professionals specialising in the legal work in the home buying process. They may both also conduct associated property related work such as remortgage conveyancing, lease extensions and transfer of equity conveyancing.
I am buying a end of terrace house in Gedling. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will legal investigations on the property include enquiries to see if these works are allowed?
Your conveyancer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Gedling will on occasion reveal restrictions in the title documents which restrict certain changes or necessitated the permission of a 3rd party. Certain extensions require local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. It would be wise to check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
After shopping around on the internet I have found a Gedling solicitor having checked that they are on the UBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
UBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually UBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Gedling surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.
My wife and I purchased a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Gedling. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Barnsley Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Gedling and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
I was pointed in your direction by a few selling agents in Gedling to get a quote from a solicitor using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to offer your site ahead of another?
We don’t offer any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
Can you offer any advice when it comes to finding a Gedling conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
If you are instructing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Gedling conveyancing firm) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We recommend that you talk with several firms including non Gedling conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions might be useful:
-
Can they put you in touch with clients in Gedling who can give a testimonial? How familiar is the firm with lease extension legislation?
I purchased a split level flat in Gedling, conveyancing was carried out 7 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent properties in Gedling with an extended lease are worth £202,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £60 charged once a year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2083
With just 57 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £28,500 and £33,000 as well as legals.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
Me and my wife are about to complete on the purchase a house in Gedling but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have agreed reparation from the owner of four thousand pounds by way of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process yet the bank will not permit this. Should they have been approached?
Your conveyancer that is on a mortgage company approved list is obliged to advise the mortgage company of any changes to the purchase amount. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to report the price change to your bank then they would need to disinstructing themselves from representing you and the lender.
