How up to date is your search tool for Nelson conveyancing solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel? Do UBS send you an updated list?
Nelson conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the UBS conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from UBS directly.
My husband and I are hoping to buy a 3 bedroom flat in Nelson with a residential mortgage from Birmingham Midshires.We like our Nelson conveyancing practitioner but Birmingham Midshires informed us his firm is not listed on their approved list of firms. We have to appoint a Birmingham Midshires panel solicitor or retain our preferred solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the Birmingham Midshires approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Birmingham Midshires

I'm purchasing a new build house in Nelson with a loan from Virgin Money. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my lawyer about this deal as it could put at risk my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I work for a busy estate agency in Nelson where we see a number of flat sales jeopardised as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received conflicting advice from local Nelson conveyancing solicitors. Please can you confirm whether the owner of a flat can initiate 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 commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer need not have to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as 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 buyer.
I own a studio flat in Nelson, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent flats in Nelson with a long lease are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2101
With 75 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as legals.
The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to 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.
