Finally the sale completed on my house in Kelsall last January but my buyer keeps telephoning me complaining that their lawyer needs to hear from myconveyancer. What should have happened following completion?
Following your house sale your lawyer should deliver the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. If applicable, your solicitor should also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been repaid to the purchasers lawyers. There are no post completion procedures just for conveyancing in Kelsall.
There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in Kelsall but how do I know who I should use?
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Kelsall conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Kelsall. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
About to purchase house in Kelsall. 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 RBS 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 Kelsall solicitor is on the RBS conveyancing panel.

Am I best advised to choose a Kelsall conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am buying? We have a good friend who can execute the legal work but his firm is located over three hundred miles drive away.
The primary upside of using a high street Kelsall conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to execute documents, present your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Kelsall know how is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust used your friend and they were content that should trump using an unknown Kelsall conveyancing lawyer just because they are local.
What makes a Kelsall lease unacceptable for security purposes?
Leasehold conveyancing in Kelsall is not unique. Most leases are individual and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain provisions are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Insurance obligations A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party.
You will encounter a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Birmingham Midshires, Leeds Building Society, and Nottingham Building Society all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to pull out.
I invested in buying a 1st floor flat in Kelsall, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2011. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in Kelsall with a long lease are worth £197,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced every year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2080
With only 55 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £31,400 and £36,200 plus 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 due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
