Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Laindon

Will my conveyancing lawyers need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Laindon. My lender is The Mortgage Works

The Mortgage Works have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 24/3/2025, the requirements read as follows :

We are getting the release of further monies on our home loan from Clydesdale as we want to conduct a loft conversion to our property in Laindon. Do we need to appoint a bricks and mortar Laindon solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

Clydesdale don't usually require a member of their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Clydesdale panel.

We were going to get a AIP from Kent Reliance this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Kent Reliance recommend any Laindon solicitors on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Laindon solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Kent Reliance through the process.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Nationwide. I assume I don't need a Laindon conveyancing practitioner on the Nationwide panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Nationwide mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Nationwide mortgage from the register. Nationwide, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Nationwide has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Nationwide has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Nationwide mortgage has been paid off.

four months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Laindon took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 premises 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'm purchasing a new build house in Laindon with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent told me not inform my solicitor about this deal as it may adversely affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for remortgage conveyancing in Laindon. I happened to chance upon a site which seems to have the ideal answer If there is a chance to get all formalities done via email that would be ideal. Do I need to be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

What advice can you give us when it comes to appointing a Laindon conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?

When appointing a property lawyer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Laindon conveyancing firm) it is essential that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We advise that you speak with several firms including non Laindon conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions might be useful:

    What are the costs for lease extension conveyancing? How familiar is the practice with lease extension legislation?

I acquired a 2 bed flat in Laindon, conveyancing was carried out August 2012. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable properties in Laindon with a long lease are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease ends on 21st October 2089

With only 64 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £14,300 and £16,400 plus professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
