Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Headley

Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Headley. Can you please explain the reason why all Headley solicitors are not on all lender panels?

Mortgage companies highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The dismissal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. It led to banks and building societies culling less reputable firms off their official list of approved conveyancing practitioners .

We are a couple about to exchange contracts for a property in Headley. We have hit a stumbling block. The loan offer with Aldermore runs out on 11/5/2026 but the vendors are suggesting a completion date of 13/5/2026. Is it possible to extend the mortgage expiry date?

The best person to address this concern is your conveyancer who will hopefully determine whether he or she is better off negotiating with the bank, seller’s representatives, estate agents or possibly all three based on the circumstances your transaction to date.

I am assisting my mother sell her house in Headley. Does the conveyancer order the energy performance certificate or should I organise this?

Following the demise of Home Information Packs, EPC’s was kept a compulsory part of moving house. An energy assessment should be to hand in advance of the property being placed on the market. It is not as aspect of the sale process that conveyancers normally organise. If you are instructing a Headley conveyancing lawyer they might be willing to arrange energy assessments due to their contacts with reputable Headley accredited person

I have a mortgage with UBS for my property in Headley. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform UBS?

Your original mortgage agreement with UBS will provide that you need their approval before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of UBS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that UBS 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 UBS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a UBS conveyancing panel firm.

HSBC have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a flat in Headley has been agreed to, what happens next?

Your estate agent will wish to be informed of your conveyancing practitioner's details (make sure the solicitors are on the bank’s approved list). Call up HSBC or the broker and complete any appropriate paperwork. HSBC will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to book a slot for the valuation to take place. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes on average ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. HSBC will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Headley.

My uncle has urged me to use his lawyers for conveyancing in Headley. Should I find my own solicitor?

There are no two ways about it the best way to select a conveyancing solicitor is to get guidance from friends or relatives who have used the solicitor that you are are thinking of instructing.

I am attracted to a two flats in Headley both have about forty five years unexpired on the leases. should I be concerned?

There is no doubt about it. A leasehold apartment in Headley is a wasting asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The closer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it adversely affects the salability of the premises. The majority of purchasers and mortgage companies, leases with under eighty years become less and less attractive. On a more positive note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the property for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a residence with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Headley conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. More often than not it is possible to negotiate informally with the freeholder to extend the lease. They may agree to a smaller lump sum and an increase in the ground rent, but to shorter extension terms in return. You need to ensure that any new terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.

Headley Leasehold Conveyancing - A selection of Queries Prior to Purchasing

    Many Headley leasehold flats will be liable to pay a service charge for maintenance of the building levied on behalf of the landlord. Should you purchase the apartment you will have to pay this charge, normally in instalments during the year. This could differ from a few hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for buildings with lifts and large communal grounds. In all probability there will be a ground rent to be met yearly, normally this is not a significant amount, say about £25-£75 but you need to check it because sometimes it can be many hundreds of pounds. How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their maintenance charge payments? It would be sensible to discover if there are any onerous restrictions in the lease. For instance it is very common in Headley leases that pets are not allowed in certain buildings in Headley. If you love the apartmentin Headley however your cat can’t make the move with you then you have a very difficult compromise.
