What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Newington

There are two types of lawyers who can conduct conveyancing in Newington namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Barclays. I assume I don't need a Newington lawyer on the Barclays panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Barclays 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 Barclays mortgage from the register. Barclays, 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:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Barclays has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Barclays has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Barclays mortgage has been paid off.

Leeds Building Society have agreed my home loan in principle, my offer on a flat in Newington has been agreed to, now what?

The property agent will want to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the property lawyers are on the lender’s approved list). Call up Leeds Building Society or your financial adviser and finish off any outstanding paperwork. Leeds Building Society will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or owners to book a slot for the valuation to happen. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days to receive the mortgage offer. Leeds Building Society will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Newington.

I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Newington I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Newington for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

My partner and I may need to let out our Newington garden flat temporarily due to a new job. We used a Newington conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?

Notwithstanding that your previous Newington conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the premises. The accepted inference is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is allowed. There may be a precondition that you need to seek permission via your landlord or some other party before subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet in the absence of first obtaining permission. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably turned down. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.

I have had difficulty in seeking a lease extension in Newington. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?

To what extent are Newington conveyancing solicitors duty bound by the Law Society to publish transparent conveyancing costs?

Inbuilt into the Solicitors Code of Conduct are set rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their charges to clients.The Law Society have a practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not intended as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, however, represent the Law Society’s view of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Newington or across England and Wales.
