Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hemsworth

I am one month into the sale of my maisonette in Hemsworth and the estate agent has just text me to say that the purchasers are appointing a new solicitor. The excuse is that the lender will only deal with solicitors on their approved list. Why would a leading mortgage company only engage with certain lawyers rather the firm that they want to choose to handle their conveyancing in Hemsworth ?

Mortgage companies have always had an approved set of law firms they are content to work with, but in recent years big names such as HSBC, have reviewed and reduced their conveyancing panel– in some cases removing conveyancing firms who have represented them for decades.

Lenders blame a rise in fraud by way of justification for the cull – criteria have been narrowed as a smaller panel is easier to monitor. Banks tend not to reveal how many solicitors have been dropped, claiming the information is commercially sensitive, but the Law Society claims that it is being contacted daily by practices that have been removed from panels. Plenty of firms do not even realise they have been dropped until contacted by a borrower who has instructed them as might be the situation in your buyers' case. The buyers are not going to have any impact on this.

My cousin has suggested that I instruct his conveyancers in Hemsworth. Should I use them?

No doubt the ideal way to select a conveyancing practitioner is to get referrals from friends or relatives who have actually previously instructed the firm you're considering.

I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that appears to meet my requirements, at a reasonable price which is making it all the more appealing. I have just found out that it's a leasehold rather than freehold. I would have thought that there are issues purchasing a house with a leasehold title in Hemsworth. Conveyancing lawyers have are about to be appointed. Will they explain the issues?

Most houses in Hemsworth are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area who can help the conveyancing process. It is clear that you are buying in Hemsworth in which case you should be looking for a Hemsworth conveyancing solicitor and check that they are used to advising on leasehold houses. First you will need to check the number of years remaining. Being a lessee you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want with the house. The lease comes with conditions for example requiring the freeholder’spermission to conduct changes to the property. It may be necessary to pay a service charge towards the maintenance of the communal areas where the property is part of an estate. Your conveyancer should report to you on the legal implications.

I inherited a split level flat in Hemsworth, conveyancing having been completed 4 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Hemsworth with over 90 years remaining are worth £190,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease runs out on 21st October 2087

With only 62 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £17,100 and £19,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of 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 clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
