I happen to be the single beneficiary of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Murton. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in August. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in August. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook mandates conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be affected by that. many mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this clause chiefly exists to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of property.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Kent Reliance, do Murton conveyancing practitioners have to pay a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?

We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to be on their panel, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

We had instructed solicitors located in Murton on the Coventry BS solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me a separate amount for the legal aspects of the Coventry BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Coventry BS?

Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your solicitor may charge a fee for this. This fee is not set by Coventry BS but by your Murton property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Coventry BS panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

I am buying a new build apartment in Murton. 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 are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Murton

    Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

I would like to sublet my leasehold flat in Murton. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?

A small minority of properties in Murton do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

I acquired a 2 bed flat in Murton, conveyancing formalities finalised January 1995. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Similar flats in Murton with an extended lease are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2101

With just 75 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on 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 additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

Online reading suggests that Murton solicitors are more costly than Murton conveyancers in Murton when it comes to purchasing a property. Am I better off using a conveyancer or a solicitor if I am buying for my home move in Murton.
