I am obtaining a mortgage with Santander. I would like to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Pyle. Does the Santander Solicitor panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Pyle? Why is this being asked of me?
You are right in these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Pyle. Nowadays you can not proceed with any conveyancing transaction if you have not providing proof of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence plus a bank statement. Please note that if you are providing your driving licence as evidence of ID it must be both the paper element and photo card part, one is not sufficient in the absence of the other.
Verification of your origin of funds is mandated in accordance with the Money Laundering Regulations. You should not be offended when when this is requested of you as your lawyer must have this information on file. Your Pyle conveyancing practitioner will need to see evidence of proof of funds before they are able to accept any money from you into their client account and they may also ask further queries regarding the origin of monies.
Can you help - my lawyer says that lack of right of way insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Pyle conveyancing?
The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Pyle. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
I've read lots of mortgage guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Pyle solicitor - who is on the Principality conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?
Principality will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Principality 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 Pyle postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Principality, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Pyle.
About to purchase a new build apartment in Pyle. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Pyle
-
The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

I have recently realised that I have 72 years remaining on my lease in Pyle. I now wish to extend my lease but my landlord is can not be found. What options are available to me?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the Court. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you have used your best endeavours to locate the freeholder. On the whole an enquiry agent would be helpful to conduct investigations and prepare an expert document to be used as proof that the landlord is indeed missing. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor in relation to investigating the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court covering Pyle.
I invested in buying a studio flat in Pyle, conveyancing having been completed 4 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Pyle with over 90 years remaining are worth £201,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease finishes on 21st October 2089
With just 64 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £14,300 and £16,400 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 the actual costs without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
