I am hoping to receive a offer of a home loan from Santander. I would like to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Hunstanton. Does the Santander Conveyancing panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
I am purchasing a property mortgage free in Hunstanton. I have resided for the last 15 years in Hunstanton. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Hunstanton conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your conveyancer will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but he has a professional duty to do this. Do bear in mind; if you are intend to sell the house one day, it will be of relevance to your future purchaser what the searches contain. On occasion houses with day to day issues can still throw up unpredicted search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Hunstanton should provide you some sensible advice concerning this.
We are purchasing a property in Hunstanton. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we will need to deposit funds into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in June 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Clydesdale are being problematic. The Hunstanton solicitor who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Clydesdale are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Clydesdale have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Clydesdale have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Clydesdale may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
About to purchase apartment in Hunstanton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money 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 Hunstanton conveyancing practitioner is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.

I only have Sixty One years unexpired on my flat in Hunstanton. I now want to extend my lease but my landlord is can not be found. What options are available to me?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to locate the freeholder. For most situations a specialist should be helpful to conduct investigations and prepare an expert document to be used as proof that the landlord can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor in relation to proving the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court overseeing Hunstanton.
I inherited a leasehold flat in Hunstanton, conveyancing having been completed 10 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar properties in Hunstanton with a long lease are worth £202,000. The ground rent is £60 invoiced annually. The lease runs out on 21st October 2083
With just 57 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £28,500 and £33,000 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more detailed investigations. Do not use the figures 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 want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
