AssumingI were to buy a straightforward propertyin Pagham mortgage fee and have no survey and no local authority searches how much could I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Pagham?
Any savings you would make would be limited to the Pagham conveyancing searches. The lawyer still got to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with your vendors conveyancer, stamp duty submission, register the ownership etc. A slight saving might be made by not needing to register a charge however it will not be meaningful.
I am the only beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Pagham. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in April. I want to move. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in April. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook instructs solicitors 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. Most lenders would take a pragmatic view as this clause primarily exists to capture subsales or the flipping of properties.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Pagham. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Pagham. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Pagham lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
I'm buying a new build house in Pagham with the aid of help to buy. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent advised me not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it will impact my mortgage with the bank. 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Pagham is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Pagham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Pagham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Pagham may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
Completion is due on the disposal of our £275,000 flat in Pagham in 8 days. The freeholder has quoted £360 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and 3 years service charge statements. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge an administration fee for a flat conveyance in Pagham?

I invested in buying a 2 bed flat in Pagham, conveyancing was carried out in 2006. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent flats in Pagham with over 90 years remaining are worth £222,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 charged once a year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2095
With only 70 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
What are the distinct benefits to instructing a local solicitor in Pagham
Many buyers and sellers in Pagham decide on using a local solicitor so that they can visit in the event that they have concerns, and to sign documents without using the post.
One could suggest that there is a slight advantage when using a lawyer nearby to a property you are buying, due to the knowledge of the region and possible local concerns - yet this is debatable. Most conveyancers undertaking their communications via email and could be anywhere in the world.
