Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lutterworth

Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to attend the offices of the solicitor to sign the legal charge? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Lutterworth so that I can pop in to their offices if necessary.

Most conveyancing panel lawyers for mortgage companies conduct all of the work via the post, internet or over phone calls. This means that they can undertake the conveyancing transaction no matter where you live in England or Wales. However you can see if you have the option of going to the offices of your conveyancing lawyer if just in case this is required.

Have completed on a a terraced house in Lutterworth , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Lutterworth conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my name is recorded.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Lutterworth registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today in the region of 80% of submission are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not typically top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Lutterworth is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Lutterworth are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Lutterworth you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Lutterworth may determine 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 property.

I was pointed in your direction by numerous property agents in Lutterworth to select a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your services rather than another?

We don’t offer any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two maisonettes in Lutterworth both have about fifty years unexpired on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?

There are no two ways about it. A leasehold flat in Lutterworth is a wasting asset as a result of the shortening lease. The closer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it reduces the marketability of the premises. The majority of buyers and lenders, leases with under eighty years become less and less attractive. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a property with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Lutterworth conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. More often than not it is possible to negotiate informally with the freeholder to extend the lease. They may agree to a smaller lump sum and an increase in the ground rent, but to shorter extension terms in return. You need to ensure that any new terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.

I invested in buying a split level flat in Lutterworth, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Similar properties in Lutterworth with a long lease are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2090

With just 65 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £13,300 and £15,400 as well as professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
