Completed the sale of my flat in Halesworth last May yet the purchaser is SMS messaging daily to moan that her conveyancer is waiting to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?

I am considering remortgaging my property in Halesworth, does my lawyer have to be on the Coventry BS Solicitor panel?

In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, but Coventry BS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

I am buying a property in Halesworth. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Barclays have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Barclays your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Barclays. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Barclays where a lease does not satisfy these provisions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Halesworth.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Halesworth. I have a mortgage agreed with Clydesdale. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Clydesdale, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Halesworth. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £225. A couple of days later, the property lawyer called me to say that they were not on the UBS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the UBS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Will our solicitor be raising questions concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Halesworth.

Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Halesworth. Some people will buy a house in Halesworth, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.

Lawyers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous checks that can be undertaken by the purchaser or by their lawyers which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Halesworth. The standard completed inquiry forms given to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a standard inquiry of the vendor to determine if the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not disclosed by the vendor, then a purchaser could bring a compensation claim stemming from an misleading reply. A buyer’s conveyancers will also commission an environmental report. This should disclose if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries should be initiated.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor apartment in Halesworth. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently received a yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?

The sensible thing to do is discharge the maintenance contribution as usual because all rents and service invoices should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

I purchased a 1st floor flat in Halesworth, conveyancing was carried out in 2008. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent properties in Halesworth with a long lease are worth £197,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease ceases on 21st October 2081

You have 55 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range 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 without more comprehensive due diligence.
