When does exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Parkstone and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?
If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Parkstone you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the firm to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Parkstone)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I got the keys to my house on 3 August and the transaction details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Parkstone said it should be registered in less than a month. Are properties in Parkstone particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Parkstone registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. As of today in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration takes place after the new owner is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not typically primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Parkstone is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Parkstone are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Parkstone you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Parkstone may decide 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.
I am looking at a couple of flats in Parkstone which have in the region of fifty years unexpired on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As a lease gets shorter the value of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more costly to extend the lease. This is why it is generally wise to extend the lease term. Sometimes it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We advise that you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.
I inherited a basement flat in Parkstone, conveyancing having been completed January 2007. 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? Similar properties in Parkstone with an extended lease are worth £211,000. The ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease terminates on 21st October 2093
With just 67 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £10,500 and £12,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
