We decided to go with a Milnthorpe based lawyer for my conveyancing in Milnthorpe yesterday. Reviewing the Terms and Conditions I seeI am responsible for fees even if the dealdoes not happen. Would I be best advised to select a web based conveyancing brokerage promoting no completion no cost conveyancing in Milnthorpe?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to offset the conveyances that do not go ahead. You should be mindful that such arrangements rarely cover outlay such as Milnthorpe conveyancing search charges.
My fiance and I changing mortgage lender for our flat in Milnthorpe with RBS. We have a son 18 who lives with us. Our solicitor requested us to identify any adults other than ourselves who reside at the property. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the apartment is forfeited by the lender. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this form unique to the RBS conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we purchased 3 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this compromise his rights to inherit the property?
On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to RBS. This is solely used to protect RBS if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of RBS had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

I own a semi-detached Victorian property in Milnthorpe. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. Is it worth asking Platform Home Loans Ltd to clarify?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Milnthorpe and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.

There are only 72 years remaining on my lease in Milnthorpe. I now want to get lease extension but my landlord is missing. What should I do?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you have made all reasonable attempts to locate the lessor. On the whole a specialist should be useful to carry out a search and prepare an expert document to be accepted by the court as evidence that the landlord is indeed missing. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer in relation to investigating the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Milnthorpe.

What prohibitions exist in the Milnthorpe Lease? Are there any major works on the horizon that could add a premium to the maintenance costs? If a Milnthorpe lease has no more than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the marketability of the apartment. It is worth checking with your bank that they are happy with residual term of the lease. Leases with fewer than 80 years remaining means that you will most likely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and it is worth discovering what this will be. For most Milnthorpelease extensions you would need to own the premises for 24 months in order to be legally able to extend the lease.
