After what seems like an age a mortgage offer from NatWest for the remortgage of my 3 room flat is to be issued any day now. Are you able to recommend a cheap conveyancing practitioner in Kidderminster?
You have arrived at the wrong site to search for the lowest fares for conveyancing solicitors in Kidderminster. We can offer you excellent value conveyancing but we do not advertise as being the cheapest. Resist the temptation to appoint brokers enticing you with £100 conveyancing in Kidderminster. Optimistically, in being led by low cost conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst you will end up invoiced for additional fees and still not end up with the service you were hoping for.
We note that you have a post code search directory identifying law firms on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I instruct them for our conveyancing in Kidderminster?

We had selected conveyancers located in Kidderminster on the Skipton solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional charge for dealing with the Skipton mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Skipton?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Skipton but by your Kidderminster lawyer. Some firms on the Skipton panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many firms include it on their overall fee.
I am purchasing a property in Kidderminster. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Coventry BS be concerned?
Given that your lender is Coventry BS your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Coventry BS. The CML Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Coventry BS where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Kidderminster.
Intending to buy a house in Kidderminster. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Coventry BS 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 Kidderminster conveyancer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.
four months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Kidderminster took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Kidderminster. Before I get started I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Kidderminster - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I invested in buying a ground floor flat in Kidderminster, conveyancing formalities finalised 3 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Kidderminster with a long lease are worth £191,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease runs out on 21st October 2079
You have 53 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £27,600 and £31,800 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
