Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lincoln

My partner and I are purchasing our first home. Our property lawyer has e-mailedto ask if we would like to purchase supplemental conveyancing searches. As novices we have no idea as to what's necessary for conveyancing in Lincoln

The quantity and type of Lincoln conveyancing searches should be triggered based entirely on the premises, the location, the likelihood of any of these risks, your knowledge of the region and risks, your general attitude to risk. What matters is that you adequately appreciate what information the searches could supply. Then you can make a decision if you personally think you need that information. Should you be uncertain, ask the conveyancing practitioner to guide you.

Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Lincoln is more expensive?

Lincoln leasehold conveyancing transactions usually involve additional investigations than freeholds including investigating the Lease, liaising with the Landlord such as serving applicable notices on the Landlord or managing agent, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining Landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts and formation documents.

I am selling my flat in Lincoln. Does the conveyancer need to be required to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently currently.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Lincoln I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Lincoln suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
