Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from High Wycombe. Please clarify why all High Wycombe lawyers aren't included on all lender panels?
Mortgage companies point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The dismissal of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. This led to banks and building societies purging a number of firms off their panel of approved conveyancers .
Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a search tool with a view to to identify firms on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel for instance in High Wycombe?
Lexsure has not been advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to promote such a tool.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in High Wycombe. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in High Wycombe
-
Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in High Wycombe I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in High Wycombe in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may 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 term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement apartment in High Wycombe. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just had a yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as usual as all ground rent and service invoices will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies 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 invested in buying a leasehold flat in High Wycombe, conveyancing having been completed 6 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in High Wycombe with over 90 years remaining are worth £265,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2100
You have 76 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £8,600 and £9,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure above 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 concerns 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 placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
