Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Griffithstown

I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and must be out of my let out property in Griffithstown by 23/4/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in three weeks as I wish to avoid having to find short term accommodation?

The normal practice is not to give notice for your lease unless your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not already done so, notify to your conveyancer and ask them to they chase the other lawyers, try to an agreed time frame that everyone will aim towards

My fiance and I wish to acquire a newbuild apartment in Griffithstown with a homeloan from Aldermore.We use our Griffithstown conveyancing practitioner but Aldermore advised that his firm is not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct a Aldermore panel lawyer or keep our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers will be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Aldermore

What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Griffithstown

There are two types of lawyers who can carry out conveyancing in Griffithstown namely licenced conveyancers or solicitors. Both professionals administer the legal services that required to complete the sale or purchase of property. Both are obliged to carry out Griffithstown conveyancing on similar standards and guidelines so you can be safe in the knowledge that your conveyancing will be properly carried out and that all necessary steps will be correctly attended to.

I currently have a mortgage with Coventry BS for my property in Griffithstown. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Coventry BS?

You must advise Coventry BS before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Coventry BS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Coventry BS directly. You need not do this via a Coventry BS conveyancing panel firm.

I had an offer accepted on a house in Griffithstown on 14/1/2026, valuation was booked 2 days after, all came back fine. Property lawyer retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to TSB and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel. Are TSB entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for TSB to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the TSB conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Do commercial conveyancing searches disclose proposed roadworks that may impact a commercial estate in Griffithstown?

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Griffithstown will carry out a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers expend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Griffithstown. The search result sets out definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Griffithstown.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Griffithstown it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately can cause delays to Griffithstown commercial conveyancing deals as well as pose a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not carried out for residential conveyancing in Griffithstown.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Griffithstown I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Griffithstown for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

What makes a Griffithstown lease unacceptable for security purposes?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Griffithstown. Most leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain clauses are erroneous. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

    A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the building Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts.

A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Accord Mortgages Ltd, Virgin Money, and Godiva Mortgages Ltd all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to pull out.

I inherited a 1 bedroom flat in Griffithstown, conveyancing was carried out in 2003. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Comparable properties in Griffithstown with over 90 years remaining are worth £202,000. The ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease finishes on 21st October 2082

With 56 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span 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 supply a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
