It has taken forever and a day but a mortgage agreement from Nationwide for the refinancing of my 3 bedroom maisonette is due any day now. Can you suggest a low cost conveyancing solicitor in Kingsnorth?
This site is not designed to aid those in their quest for cut-price fees for conveyancing solicitors in Kingsnorth. We can offer you excellent value conveyancing but we do not aim to advertise as being the cheapest. Do not be fooled by organisations offering the bait of £99 conveyancing in Kingsnorth. The optimum result, in going for cheap conveyancing, you will earn what you pay for and at worst you will end up invoiced for additional fees and still not receive the service expected.
I am considering applying for a Kent Reliance mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Kingsnorth with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Kent Reliance ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, but Kent Reliance would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
We are buying a 3 bedroom semi in Kingsnorth. Our aim is to an extension at the rear at the property.Will legal due diligence on the property involve investigations to ascertain if these alterations are prohibited?
Your property lawyer will review the deeds as conveyancing in Kingsnorth will occasionally identify restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit categories of alterations or necessitated the permission of another owner. Some additions need local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.

Is it the case that all Kingsnorth solicitors on the Nationwide conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Nationwide approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some lenders do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be overseen by the CLC.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Kingsnorth I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Kingsnorth suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

I am employed by a reputable estate agent office in Kingsnorth where we see a few leasehold sales jeopardised due to short leases. I have received contradictory information from local Kingsnorth conveyancing firms. Can you confirm whether the seller of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.

With 60 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £20,000 and £23,000 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt 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.
