My best friend’s dad is a conveyancer. I anticipate that I'll be able to get preferential pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of costs would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Groby?

You should compare pricing. Make use of our comparison tool on this page. The fees may be different but service levels do are distinct between property lawyers as is the case with the vast majority of professional services.

Can you help? My Groby conveyancer is informing me me that he has toapply for Groby conveyancing searches due to the fact thatthe firm are on the Nat Westapproved lawyer panel. Do I not have any options here?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Groby conveyancing searches.

I purchased a semi-detached Victorian house in Groby. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. Is it worth asking Godiva Mortgages Ltd to clarify?

You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for 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 Groby and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.

    The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Please supply a car parking plan.

Completion is due on our sale of a £250,000 garden flat in Groby in just under a week. The managing agents has quoted £384 for Certificate of Compliance, building insurance schedule and previous years service charge statements. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in Groby?

Groby conveyancing on leasehold flats usually necessitates the buyer’s solicitor sending questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to address these enquiries most will be content to assist. They may levy a reasonable administration fee for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some transactions it is in excess of £800. The administration charge required by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration charges, without which the invoice is technically not due. Reality however dictates that you have little option but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to sell the property.

I inherited a studio flat in Groby, conveyancing was carried out April 2011. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent properties in Groby with a long lease are worth £216,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease runs out on 21st October 2094

With just 70 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £9,500 and £11,000 plus legals.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
