Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Grassendale

My wife and I are soon to exchange buying a property in Grassendale but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the current proprietors of £2k in the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement however Clydesdale will not agree to this. Why were they approached?

Any conveyancing practitioner that is on a Clydesdale conveyancing panel is obliged to disclose to Clydesdale of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to report the reduction to Clydesdale then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Clydesdale and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Grassendale.

The Grassendale conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Grassendale have suddenly shut down. They were on acting for me because I needed a lawyer on the Barclays conveyancing panel and my previous Grassendale lawyer was not. I paid them funds in advance. What should be my next steps?

If you have an estate agent involved then let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Barclays conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors may be able to assist.

How does conveyancing in Grassendale differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Grassendale contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because house builders in Grassendale usually buy the real estate, 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 property lawyers 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 Grassendale or who has acted in the same development.

I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Grassendale before appointing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend not issue a loan on such a property.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different instructions for example to Halifax. If you call us we can check with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Grassendale. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Grassendale to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for some conveyancing in Grassendale. I've stumble across a web site which looks to be the ideal offering If it is possible to get all formalities completed via email that would be ideal. Do I need to be wary? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

I've found a house that appears to be perfect, at a reasonable figure which is making it more attractive. I have just found out that it's a leasehold rather than freehold. I would have thought that there are particular concerns buying a house with a leasehold title in Grassendale. Conveyancing solicitors have not yet been appointed. Will they explain the issues?

Most houses in Grassendale are freehold and not leasehold. This is one of the situations where having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area who can assist with the conveyancing process. it is apparent that you are buying in Grassendale so you should seriously consider looking for a Grassendale conveyancing solicitor and check that they have experience in dealing with leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the number of years remaining. As a tenant you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want with the house. The lease will likely included provisions for example requiring the landlord’sconsent to conduct changes to the property. You may also be required to pay a service charge towards the maintenance of the estate where the property is located on an estate. Your solicitor will report to you on the legal implications.

I bought a 1st floor flat in Grassendale, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Grassendale with over 90 years remaining are worth £202,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £60 charged once a year. The lease expires on 21st October 2081

You have 56 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £29,500 and £34,000 as well as costs.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing 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 are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
