Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lincoln

It is is a decade since I bought my home in Lincoln. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find the title deeds. Will this cause complications?

You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be kept by your mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Lincoln involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.

I am thinking of refinancing my property in Lincoln, does my lawyer have to be on the Aldermore Solicitor panel?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Aldermore will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

There is lots of here concerning conveyancing in Lincoln but can you isolate your top tip for finding the right conveyancer in Lincoln

We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Lincoln conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.

I am buying a property in Lincoln. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Co-operative have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Co-operative your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions outlined in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Co-operative. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Co-operative where a lease does not meet these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Lincoln.

About to purchase maisonette in Lincoln. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Lincoln lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Lincoln is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Lincoln are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Lincoln you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Lincoln may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

Hoping to buy a property located in Lincoln and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Lincoln. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Lincoln area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Lincoln. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

We expect to complete our sale of a £400,000 maisonette in Lincoln next Monday. The management company has quoted £396 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and 3 years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Lincoln?

Lincoln conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes ordinarily involves administration charges invoiced by landlords agents :

    Addressing pre-contract questions Where consent is required before sale in Lincoln Supplying insurance information Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your lawyer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Lincoln leasehold premises is £350. For Lincoln conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are obliged to supply answers.

I purchased a ground floor flat in Lincoln, conveyancing was carried out in 2009. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent properties in Lincoln with a long lease are worth £202,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £60 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2083

With only 57 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £28,500 and £33,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
