Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Holbeach

What happens if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Coventry BS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Holbeach?

The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

We are aiming to move house in January. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Holbeach. Conveyancing lawyer was chosen before I stumbled across this site.

On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from the selling agent however this can only happen when the previous owners conveyancers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. After that you can inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Holbeach or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Holbeach.

After weeks of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Holbeach. My financial adviser suggested a solicitor. I paid an advanced payment of £150. Shortly after, the property lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the RBS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the RBS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Intending to buy a flat in Holbeach. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Holbeach property lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Holbeach registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration takes place after the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not always primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Holbeach is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Holbeach are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Holbeach you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Holbeach may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

In my capacity as executor for the estate of my uncle I am disposing of a house in Cardiff but I am based in Holbeach. My lawyer (approximately 200 kilometers from mehas requested that I sign a statutory declaration ahead of the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Holbeach to witness this legal document for me?

strictly speaking you are not likely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are based in Holbeach

I have recently realised that I have 68 years unexpired on my flat in Holbeach. I now wish to get lease extension but my freeholder is missing. What should I do?

If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the Court. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you have used your best endeavours to track down the landlord. For most situations a specialist may be helpful to carry out a search and to produce an expert document to be accepted by the court as evidence that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer in relation to devolving into the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court overseeing Holbeach.

I acquired a 1st floor flat in Holbeach, conveyancing formalities finalised 4 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Holbeach with over 90 years remaining are worth £211,000. The ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease runs out on 21st October 2092

With just 68 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
