Souldappointing a Horsford conveyancing lawyer make my purchase more efficient?
Established third party connections are another important factor to consider when appointing conveyancing solicitors. Horsford conveyancers often have long term relationships with financial advisers and Horsford, local authorities, valuers and other law firms meaning the whole process is going to be much smoother for you. Having years of knowledge of the local area also helps too.
We had instructed solicitors locally in Horsford on the Clydesdale solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional amount for dealing with the Clydesdale mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Clydesdale?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Clydesdale but by your Horsford property lawyer. Some firms on the Clydesdale panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Co-operative as we wish to conduct improvements to our property in Horsford. Are we obliged to select a local Horsford solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Co-operative don't usually appoint a member of their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Co-operative panel.
The mortgage over my property is with Aldermore for my property in Horsford. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Aldermore?
Your original mortgage agreement with Aldermore will provide that you need their approval prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Aldermore’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Aldermore will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Aldermore directly. You need not do this via a Aldermore conveyancing panel solicitor.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Horsford. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Horsford - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I inherited a 1st floor flat in Horsford, conveyancing was carried out February 2012. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Comparable properties in Horsford with over 90 years remaining are worth £170,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease expires on 21st October 2103
With only 78 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to be between £7,600 and £8,800 plus legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive 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 should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
