My best friend’s dad is a solicitor. I suspect that I will receive preferential pricing for conveyancing, However if that does not come materialise, what kind of costs would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Marske and Upleatham?
Do contrast pricing. Do use our search tool on this site. Whilst prices seem to vary but service levels do differ between solicitors as is true with most professions.
We previously selected conveyancing lawyers locally in Marske and Upleatham on the Nottingham solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a separate fee for handling the Nottingham mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Nottingham?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer can levy a fee for this. This charge is not set by Nottingham but by your Marske and Upleatham lawyer. Numerous firms on the Nottingham panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
I have paid off my mortgage with Nottingham. I assume I don't need a Marske and Upleatham solicitor on the Nottingham panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Nottingham 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 Nottingham mortgage from the register. Nottingham, 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 Nottingham has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Nottingham has instructed the Land Registry to do so
My offer was accepted on a house in Marske and Upleatham on 29/5/2026, valuation was booked five days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor retained, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Coventry BS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Coventry BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I have justdiscovered that Wolstenholmes have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Marske and Upleatham for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to see if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Marske and Upleatham conveyancing specialists.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Marske and Upleatham. 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 conveyancing.
Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Marske and Upleatham
-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.
I decided to have a survey done on a property in Marske and Upleatham in advance of appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend refuse to grant a loan on such a house.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you e-mail us we can look into this further via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Marske and Upleatham. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
I work for a long established estate agent office in Marske and Upleatham where we have experienced a number of flat sales jeopardised due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received conflicting advice from local Marske and Upleatham conveyancing firms. Can you confirm whether the owner of a flat can start the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
I am the registered owner of a basement flat in Marske and Upleatham, conveyancing having been completed October 1997. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Corresponding properties in Marske and Upleatham with an extended lease are worth £265,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2102
With just 76 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
