We are buying a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Kegworth who is on the Leeds Building Society solicitor panel. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Kegworth.
We had selected conveyancers located in Kegworth on the Co-operative solicitor approved list. They have just billed me an additional sum for handling the Co-operative mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Co-operative?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Co-operative but by your Kegworth conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Co-operative panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
My husband and I have organised a further advance on our home loan from UBS as we intend to conduct alterations to our home in Kegworth. Do we need to select a high street Kegworth solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
UBS would not normally require firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the UBS panel.
I'm in the process of looking at flats in Kegworth and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner in place at this point? I will be getting a home loan with RBS.

I am looking at a two maisonettes in Kegworth both have about forty five years remaining on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
There are no two ways about it. A leasehold flat in Kegworth is a deteriorating asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The closer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it adversely affects the value of the property. The majority of purchasers and banks, leases with under 75 years become less and less attractive. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a property with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Kegworth conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. A more straightforward and quicker method of extending would be to contact your landlord directly and sound him out on the prospect of extending the lease. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. You need to ensure that any new terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
I am the registered owner of a leasehold flat in Kegworth, conveyancing having been completed in 2005. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Corresponding flats in Kegworth with a long lease are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2093
With 67 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £10,500 and £12,000 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
