Is it correct that all Leigh On Sea CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel?

A selection of lenders now use the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

We expect to receive a AIP from Aldermore this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Aldermore recommend any Leigh On Sea solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

I got the keys to my home on 8 November and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Leigh On Sea expressed confidence that it would be recorded in less than a month. Are properties in Leigh On Sea uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Leigh On Sea registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any interested persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not always top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I own a leasehold flat in Leigh On Sea. Conveyancing and National Westminster Bank mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing solicitor in Leigh On Sea who acted for me is not around. What should I do?

The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Leigh On Sea conveyancing practitioner to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

I invested in buying a 2 bed flat in Leigh On Sea, conveyancing having been completed 9 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Corresponding properties in Leigh On Sea with an extended lease are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease terminates on 21st October 2095

With 70 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 plus professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be 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 without first seeking the advice of a professional.
