Having been referred to your web site we were about to appoint conveyancing solicitor in Marlborough recommended using your comparison tool but stumbled across some other fee calculations via the web appear cheaper – why is this?
One can find a variety of conveyancing companies offering what appear to be cut price. We suggest that you think twice as to how much you respect your own move to want to be penny wise pound foolish with regard to the quality of the conveyancing. Some hide extras deep into the terms of engagement. The law firms that we list for conveyancing in Marlborough will notdo this.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Marlborough. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Santander 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 Santander your lawyer must check the formal requirements contained in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Santander. The CML Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Santander where a lease fails to comply with these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not isolated to Marlborough.
My wife and I are in the throws of viewing apartments in Marlborough and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a property lawyer appointed at this stage? I intend to finance via a home loan with Kent Reliance.
It would be sensible to commence your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the selling agent. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Kent Reliance, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
I can not work out if my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Marlborough bank branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Marlborough conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
As long as the lawyer is on the mortgage company approved list, they must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Marlborough. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Marlborough

Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Please supply a car parking plan. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Marlborough is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Marlborough are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Marlborough you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Marlborough may ascertain 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.
In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business offices in Marlborough and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to gives protection to business lessees, granting the right to apply to court for a renewal tenancy and continue in occupation at the end of the lease term. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Marlborough is one of our numerous locations in which the firms we work with have offices
