Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hove

I was advised today by my financial adviser that my Hove solicitor is not on the lender Solicitor panel. How can I check?

The sensible course of action for you to take is to call your Hove conveyancer. You lawyer should inform you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.

Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Hove costs more?

In short, leasehold conveyancing in Hove and elsewhere usually warrants additional work compared to freehold transactions. This includes checking the lease terms, liaising with the landlord concerning serving appropriate notices, securing up-to-date service charge and management information, procuring the landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – no matter how many different leaseholders have owned the lease since it was first granted.

My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Hove. I I am struggling to find out whether they are on the Santander conveyancing panel. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?

You should phone the conveyancer and ask them if they are on the lender panel. Alternatively please call Santander who may be able to confirm.

Will commercial conveyancing searches disclose planned roadworks that may affect a commercial property in Hove?

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Hove will conduct a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers spend in sourcing accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Hove. The report provides definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Hove.

For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Hove it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately could cause delays to Hove commercial conveyancing transactions as well as present a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not ordered for domestic conveyancing in Hove.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Hove I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Hove for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
