Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Maldon

I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to leave my rented apartment in Maldon by 15/5/2025. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. Is it possible to complete in six weeks as don't want to have to move into temporary accommodation?

It is unwise to provide notice on a rental until your lawyer suggests that you should. If you have not already done so, contact to your lawyer and request that they apply pressure on the sellers lawyers, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will look to achieve

Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a searchable register to list practices on the Darlington Building Society conveyancing panel for example in Maldon?

We have not been informed any intention on the part of the BSA to develop such a tool.

I am downsizing from our home in Maldon and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Maldon lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Maldon. Having lived in Maldon for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)

I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Maldon I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Maldon in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

Given that I will soon part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on a garden flat in Maldon I would like to talk to a lawyer concerning thehouse move before instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

This is something that we recommend - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the lawyer who will be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Maldon.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important person, not a case number. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Maldon should be the figure that you are charged.

We are midway through buying a residence in Maldon. Conveyancing lawyer has told us the property is "Leasehold". Will this likely adversely affect the salability of the property?

Maldon conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The crucial consideration here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If there are over a hundred years remaining with a nominal rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it shouldn't impact the saleability significantly.

On the flip side, if it's, say, Sixty years it is bound to have a adverse effect on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be set out in the lease to be supplied to your conveyancing practitioner.
