Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Kingswood

Finally the sale completed on my house in Kingswood last March yet the purchaser is telephoning every few hours complaining that their conveyancer needs to hear from myconveyancer. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?

Following your house sale your conveyancer is duty bound to deliver the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Where appropriate, your solicitor must also evidence that the mortgage has been repaid to the purchasers conveyancers. There are no post completion requirements just for conveyancing in Kingswood.

I happen to be the only recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Kingswood. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in February. Is the property unsalable for six months?

The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause chiefly exists to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.

Is it the case that all Kingswood solicitor practices on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel are overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Bank of Ireland approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the SRA. Some mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the firms would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

My fiancee and I are in the process of looking at flats in Kingswood and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a conveyancing practitioner appointed at this point? I will be getting a mortgage with Nottingham.

You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the EA. As you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.

Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are the number one cause of stalling in Kingswood house deals. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the top 10 causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Kingswood.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Kingswood. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Kingswood

    Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.

I am a sole trader looking to lease a unit on a shopping parade. Can you recommend conveyancers offering no-move-no costs for commercial conveyancing in Kingswood for under £2000?

We are happy to recommend firms who have an in-depth of experience of commercial conveyancing in Kingswood, including the sale and purchase of businesses as well as simply property. Whether you are hoping to purchase or lease a shop, pub, restaurant, office, retail premises or a whole business we can find you the right solicitor.

Let us have your details or telephone us so that we may provide you with a detailed commercial conveyancing calculation.

I am a negotiator for a reputable estate agent office in Kingswood where we have witnessed a few flat sales put at risk due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given contradictory information from local Kingswood conveyancing solicitors. Can you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

As long as 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. This means that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.

Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord 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.

I acquired a leasehold flat in Kingswood, conveyancing having been completed July 2005. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable flats in Kingswood with over 90 years remaining are worth £176,000. The ground rent is £50 charged once a year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2106

You have 80 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be 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 take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
