Would the conveyancing solicitors that are recommend execute auction conveyancing in Hebden Bridge?
There are a few auction solicitors we can put you in touch with those conducting auction conveyancing. Hebden Bridge is one of hundreds of locations where our lawyers cover.
My home in Hebden Bridge is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Will the property lawyer have to be required to be on the RBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the RBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.
We previously appointed conveyancers based in Hebden Bridge on the TSB solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a supplemental sum for dealing with the TSB mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by TSB?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer can levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by TSB but by your Hebden Bridge lawyer. Plenty of firms on the TSB panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with HSBC. Hebden Bridge conveyancing lawyers were selected. How long does it take for HSBC to issue the offer to the conveyancer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have HSBC conducted the survey? Have you advised HSBC as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the HSBC conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
Bank of Ireland have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a house in Hebden Bridge has been agreed to, now what?
The property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (be sure the solicitors are on the lender’s approved list). Telephone Bank of Ireland or the broker and complete any relevant paperwork. Bank of Ireland will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to book an appointment. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight to receive the mortgage offer. Bank of Ireland will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Hebden Bridge.
I am looking for a flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Hebden Bridge I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Hebden Bridge for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
Back In 2002, I bought a leasehold flat in Hebden Bridge. Conveyancing and Lloyds TSB Bank mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing solicitor in Hebden Bridge who previously acted has long since retired. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to incur the fees of a Hebden Bridge conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I bought a 2 bed flat in Hebden Bridge, conveyancing was carried out 10 years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent flats in Hebden Bridge with a long lease are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease finishes on 21st October 2091
With only 66 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to be between £12,400 and £14,200 plus legals.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account 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.
