We previously appointed solicitors based in Ombersley on the UBS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental sum for the legal aspects of the UBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by UBS?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. This charge is not set by UBS but by your Ombersley solicitor. Some firms on the UBS panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
Bank of Ireland have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a apartment in Ombersley has been agreed to, now what?
The property agent will want to be advised as to your lawyer's details (be sure the property lawyers are on the lender’s panel). Telephone Bank of Ireland or the broker and finalise any appropriate documentation. Bank of Ireland will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or vendor to schedule an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a fortnight for the mortgage offer to be issued. Bank of Ireland will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Ombersley.
My wife and I own a semi-detached Victorian property in Ombersley. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Skipton Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking Skipton Building Society to clarify?
You should assess 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 Ombersley and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
I am purchasing my first flat in Ombersley with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my solicitor about the extras as it would impact my mortgage with Virgin Money. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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 invested in buying a 2 bed flat in Ombersley, conveyancing was carried out 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? Corresponding properties in Ombersley with a long lease are worth £186,000. The ground rent is £55 per annum. The lease terminates on 21st October 2079
With just 53 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £27,600 and £31,800 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
