Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Greasby

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a ground floor flat in Greasby. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Greasby?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens early afternoon.

I am being advised by my conveyancer that breach of easement insurance is required on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Greasby conveyancing?

The right level of breach of easement indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between National Westminster Bank and The Royal Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Santander are being pedantic. The Greasby solicitor who is on the Santander conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Santander are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Santander have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Santander have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Santander may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Greasby is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?

Flying freeholds in Greasby are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

My husband and I are a fortnight into a freehold purchase having been recommend to a firm by the selling agent to handle our conveyancing in Greasby. I am not happy. Could you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?

They would have to be really bad to suggest replacing them. Has the loan offer been sent? In the event that it has you will need to advise them of the new contact details and have the mortgage documents are re-issued. Your solicitor ideally should be on the banks approved list to avoid added fees and frustration. So that should be your first question of the new conveyancers.

I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that seems to be perfect, at a great figure which is making it more attractive. I have just found out that the title is leasehold as opposed to freehold. I would have thought that there are particular concerns buying a house with a leasehold title in Greasby. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed. Will they explain the issues?

The majority of houses in Greasby are freehold rather than 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 purchasing in Greasby so you should seriously consider shopping around for a Greasby conveyancing practitioner and be sure that they have experience in transacting on leasehold houses. First you will need to check the unexpired lease term. Being a leaseholder you will not be entirely free to do whatever you want to the property. The lease will likely included provisions for example requiring the landlord’sconsent to conduct alterations. It may be necessary to pay a maintenance charge towards the upkeep of the estate where the property is located on an estate. Your conveyancer should advise you fully on all the issues.

I bought a 1st floor flat in Greasby, conveyancing formalities finalised October 1999. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Greasby with a long lease are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2090

With just 65 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £13,300 and £15,400 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. 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 move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
