My bid for a property was accepted at auction in Kegworth. Conveyancing is required. What is next?
Given that you are now for in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you must hire the services of a conveyancing practitioner as a matter of urgency as you will have a tight deadline in which to complete the purchase. Every auction property should have an associated legal set of papers. This will include most,if not all of the documents that your solicitor will need. In the case of leasehold premises the auction papers may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation pertinent to leasehold premises.

We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Yorkshire BS as we intend to carry out alterations to our house in Kegworth. Do we need to choose a high street Kegworth solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Yorkshire BS do not ordinarily require a member of their approved list of lawyers 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 Yorkshire BS list.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in July 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Skipton are being a right pain. The Kegworth solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Skipton are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton 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.

Taking into account that I am about to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on a garden flat in Kegworth I would like to talk to a lawyer regarding thetransaction in advance of appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?
Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the conveyancer due to be conducting your property ownership legalities in Kegworth.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important individual, not a file reference.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor apartment in Kegworth. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you discharge the invoice as normal as all ground rent and service charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I bought a 1 bedroom flat in Kegworth, conveyancing having been completed December 2011. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in Kegworth with a long lease are worth £175,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2084
With just 58 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £23,800 and £27,400 as well as costs.
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 without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
I own a leasehold flat in Kegworth. Conveyancing was finished in 2010. I have heard that I should not allow the the remaining lease term to fall too short. What is the reasoning?
Kegworth domestic long term leases are for a fixed period - usually ninety nine years when they commenced. However a significant flats in Kegworth were built or converted 20 or more years ago and so these leases now have under eighty years remaining. This may sound like a long time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies tend to require leases to have at least 75 years unexpired to adequate security. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are getting close to eighty years. To enhance the marketability of your property you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Furthermore strong financial reasons to taking action before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease is below 80 years the premium you have to pay to extend starts to increase.
