Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Herefordshire

I plan on acquiring a maisonette in Herefordshire. My lawyer is not listed on the bank solicitor list. Is it possible for me to appoint my Herefordshire conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the mortgage company panel?

You must use a conveyancer to deal with the legal work required when you require a mortgage to buy your home. They will carry out all the necessary investigations on the property, ensuring that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is in place. One could instruct a Herefordshire conveyancer of your choosing. Nevertheless, where the property lawyer appointed is not on the bank solicitor panel supplemental costs will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not previously sought membership they can do so.

Do all mortgage companies provide you with an approved list of Herefordshire conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel?

Herefordshire conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Aldermore directly.

Will our conveyancer be asking questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Herefordshire.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers carrying out conveyancing in Herefordshire. There are those who purchase a house in Herefordshire, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Solicitors are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a various searches that may be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which will figure out the risks in Herefordshire. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms supplied to a buyer’s lawyer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual question of the seller to find out if the property has ever been flooded. In the event that the residence has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the seller, then a buyer may issue a claim for damages stemming from an inaccurate reply. A buyer’s solicitors may also order an enviro report. This should reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be carried out.

I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Herefordshire I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Herefordshire in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

My uncle has recommend that I instruct his lawyers for conveyancing in Herefordshire. Should I find my own solicitor?

There are no two ways about it the ideal way to find a conveyancing practitioner is to seek recommendations from friends or relatives who have experience in using the firm you're are thinking of instructing.

I have just appointed agents to market my garden flat in Herefordshire. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently had a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?

It best that you discharge the maintenance contribution as you normally would given that all rents and maintenance invoices will 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 unless 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 bought a basement flat in Herefordshire, conveyancing having been completed in 1999. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in Herefordshire with an extended lease are worth £255,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2098

With just 73 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
