I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Coventry BS. I assume I don't need a Hampshire lawyer on the Coventry BS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Coventry BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Coventry BS mortgage from the register. Coventry BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Coventry BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Coventry BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Coventry BS mortgage has been paid off.

I require fast conveyancing in Hampshire as I am faced with an ultimatum to complete inside 2 weeks. Thankfully I do not require a mortgage. Is it possible to escape the need for conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

As you are not obtaining a mortgage you are at liberty not to have searches carried out although no lawyer would recommend that you don't. Drawing on years of experience of conveyancing in Hampshire the following are instances of what can show up and adversely impact future saleability: Enforcement Notices, Overdue Charges, Outstanding Grants, Unadopted Roads,...

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Hampshire I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hampshire for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

How simple is it to use your search tool to find a conveyancing practitioner in Hampshire on the panel for my mortgage?

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Hampshire. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.

If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Hampshire - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I acquired a studio flat in Hampshire, conveyancing was carried out in 2008. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar properties in Hampshire with over 90 years remaining are worth £255,000. The ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2098

You have 73 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as legals.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns 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.
