I am selling my flat in Peterston Super Ely. Does the conveyancing practitioner have to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently in recent years.
There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in Peterston Super Ely but how do I know who I should use?
We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Peterston Super Ely conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.
Is it correct that all Peterston Super Ely CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing list of approved practices?
It is true that some lenders now utilise CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their panels.
Santander have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a flat in Peterston Super Ely has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
The property agent will wish to be informed of your solicitor's details (ensure that the conveyancers are on the bank’s panel). Contact Santander or your broker and finish off any outstanding paperwork. Santander will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or seller to schedule a time for the valuation to occur. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight to get a mortgage offer. Santander will send the offer to you and your conveyancing practitioners. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Peterston Super Ely.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Peterston Super Ely?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Peterston Super Ely. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I'm buying a new build house in Peterston Super Ely with a loan from Britannia. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my solicitor about the extras as it would impact my loan with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
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.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Peterston Super Ely with the intention of speeding up the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Peterston Super Ely can be reduced if you get in touch lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the purchasers’ representatives. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s permission? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Peterston Super Ely state that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring necessitate a licence from the Landlord consenting to such works. Where you fail to have the consents to hand you should not contact the landlord without contacting your conveyancer first. If there is a history of conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are settled prior to the flat being put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You will have to accept that you will have to pay any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic as opposed to unresolved. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the Management Company, you should ensure that you hold the original share certificate. Arranging a duplicate share certificate can be a time consuming formality and frustrates many a Peterston Super Ely conveyancing transaction. If a new share is necessary, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (if applicable) for this at the earliest opportunity.
I acquired a ground floor flat in Peterston Super Ely, conveyancing formalities finalised April 1996. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Peterston Super Ely with over 90 years remaining are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease ceases on 21st October 2090
With 65 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £13,300 and £15,400 plus 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 detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
