Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Leconfield

Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Leconfield. Please explain the reason why all Leconfield property lawyers are not on all mortgage company panels?

Lenders point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The removal of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. This led to banks and building societies purging less reputable firms from their panel of approved property lawyers .

Would the conveyancing solicitors that you recommend conduct auction conveyancing in Leconfield?

There are a number of niche solicitors we can connect you with those specialising in auction conveyancing. Leconfield is one of the many locations where our lawyers are based.

A friend advised me that if I am buying in Leconfield I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

This is a search is usually included in the estimate for your Leconfield conveyancing searches. It is a large document of more than thirty pages, listing and setting out important information about Leconfield around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime details, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data regarding Leconfield.

Am I best advised to go with a Leconfield conveyancing lawyer based in the location that I am buying? We have a good friend who can execute the legal formalities but they are based 200kilometers away.

The benefit of a high street Leconfield conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to sign documents, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and on the whole were content that should surpass using an unknown Leconfield conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being based in the area.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Leconfield. Before I get started I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Leconfield - 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 acquired a studio flat in Leconfield, conveyancing formalities finalised February 1998. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Leconfield with over 90 years remaining are worth £201,000. The ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease expires on 21st October 2090

With only 65 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £13,300 and £15,400 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

I am hoping to sell my garage which is on a separate legal title with the land registry asking for 30k, to clear debts. There is a mortgage with Leeds Building Society. Please can you recommend an inexpensive conveyancer as the usual £800-1000 eats in the return somewhat. Although I live in Leconfield I dont have to use a Leconfield property lawyer.

The purpose of this site is restricted to being a directory service for conveyancing practitioners who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society in certain areas for example Leconfield . We dont recommend any specific lawyer.
