Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Gosport

I am helping my niece sell her flat in Gosport. Does the conveyancer arrange the energy performance certificate or should I organise this?

After the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s became a required element of selling a property. An energy assessment must be commissioned in advance of the property being advertised. This is not a task that solicitors ordinarily arrange. Where you are using a Gosport conveyancing solicitor they might help arrange EPC’s given their contacts with reputable Gosport providers

I just bought a property at auction in Gosport. Conveyancing is required. What happens now?

Now that you are legally bound yourself to purchase you must appoint a conveyancing solicitor quickly as you are facing a pending a drop dead date to complete the deal. Every auction property will ordinarily have an associated legal pack. This will include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. If you have purchased leasehold property the legal papers may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation relating to a leasehold property. You must hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. You also need to ensure that you have funds in place to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Nationwide. I assume I don't need a Gosport lawyer on the Nationwide panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Nationwide mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Nationwide mortgage from the register. Nationwide, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Nationwide has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Nationwide has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Nationwide mortgage has been paid off.

It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Gosport took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 property 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.

About to purchase a new build flat in Gosport. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?

Am I better off to go with a Gosport conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am buying? I have an old university friend who can handle the legal work but her office is 400kilometers away.

The primary upside of using a local Gosport conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Gosport know how is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and in the main were happy that should trump using an unknown Gosport conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being round the corner.

What are your top tips when it comes to appointing a Gosport conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?

When appointing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Gosport conveyancing firm) it is imperative that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We suggest that you make enquires with several firms including non Gosport conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions might be of use:

    How familiar is the practice with lease extension legislation?

I bought a ground floor flat in Gosport, conveyancing was carried out June 2005. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Gosport with a long lease are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2100

You have 74 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as legals.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional 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 before getting professional advice.
