When will exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Pewsey and am I required to attend the conveyancers branch?
If you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Pewsey you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process 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 Pewsey)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
I am helping my mother sell her house in Pewsey. Will the solicitor arrange an energy performance certificate or it is for the owner to coordinate?
Following the abolition of Home Packs, energy assessments remained a compulsory component of selling a house. An energy performance certificate should be commissioned in advance of the property being marketed. This is not a task that conveyancers normally arrange. Where you are using a Pewsey conveyancing solicitor they may be willing to arrange energy assessments due to their contacts with long established Pewsey energy assessors
We have agreed to purchase a house in Pewsey. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Kent Reliance have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Kent Reliance your lawyer must check the formal instructions contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Kent Reliance. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Kent Reliance where a lease does not satisfy these conditions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Pewsey.
I have instructed a Pewsey conveyancer having made sure that they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Leeds Building Society will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Leeds Building Society will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your lawyer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Pewsey postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Pewsey.
About to purchase a new build flat in Pewsey. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Pewsey
-
Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

I wish to let out my leasehold apartment in Pewsey. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?
A small minority of properties in Pewsey do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
I inherited a ground floor flat in Pewsey, conveyancing formalities finalised in 1995. How much will my lease extension cost? Similar properties in Pewsey with an extended lease are worth £190,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease ends on 21st October 2087
With just 62 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £17,100 and £19,800 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure 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 taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
Should one remove a deceased person's name from the title register for a house in Pewsey?
If a Pewsey property is jointly owned and one of the owners passes away, the name will not immediately be removed from the title deeds. It is not necessary to amend the title as in the event of a disposal your lawyer would just be asked to evidence as to the reason the other owner is missing from the transfer, such as the probate documents.
With the aim of making things smoother in the future you can arrange to have the deceased name erased from the title register by submitting an application to HM Land Registry with evidence of the death. There is no fee from the Registry for this service.
