Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ludlow

I was advised yesterday by my broker that my Ludlow property lawyer is not on the bank Solicitor panel. How can I check?

You need to call your Ludlow conveyancer. You lawyer should advise you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a Ludlow conveyancing practice that is on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.

I have paid off my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. I assume I don't need a Ludlow solicitor on the Bank of Ireland panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Bank of Ireland 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 Bank of Ireland mortgage from the register. Bank of Ireland, 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:

but are not moving to another property
where Bank of Ireland has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
Bank of Ireland has instructed the Land Registry to do so

The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Bank of Ireland mortgage has been paid off.

Intending to buy a house in Ludlow. 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 Clydesdale 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 Ludlow solicitor is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Virgin Money. Is it usual for Virgin Money to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Ludlow is approved on their conveyancing panel? Virgin Money have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Virgin Money to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Taking into account that I will soon part with £400,000 on a property in Ludlow I wish to have a conversation with the lawyer regarding thetransaction ahead of appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?

Absolutely - we would be happy to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the solicitor due to be conducting your property ownership legalities in Ludlow.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important person, not a matter number. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are quoted for your conveyancing in Ludlow should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.

Am I best advised to instruct a Ludlow conveyancing lawyer based in the area that I am buying? We have a good friend who can carry out the conveyancing however his firm is located over three hundred kilometers away.

The primary upside of using a local Ludlow conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to execute paperwork, present your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local insight which is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and the majority were impressed that must surpass using an unfamiliar Ludlow conveyancing lawyer just because they are round the corner.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Ludlow. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

I invested in buying a 1st floor flat in Ludlow, conveyancing having been completed in 2008. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Similar properties in Ludlow with a long lease are worth £197,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2081

With only 55 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £31,400 and £36,200 plus professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. 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 take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

Me and my partner are planning to purchase a 2 bedroom housein Ludlow with a home loan from a bank. We wish to instruct our lawyer in Ludlow yet our bank advise she’s not on their "panel". We have to appoint from the our lender panel solicitors or keep our Ludlow conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our mortgage company use our Ludlow lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The lender mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the bank's conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had open panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Ludlow : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
