I am in need of a property lawyer. Do I opt for a national conveyancer or a high street Queenborough conveyancing solicitor?
On the whole conveyancing solicitors in your neck of the woods will enjoy good alliances with your local authority, which could help with your Queenborough conveyancing searches that your conveyancer will require. It also helps if they have strong rapport with the Land Registry overseeing your area Queenborough, other lawyers in the area and Queenborough Estate Agents.
We are purchasing a detached bungalow in Queenborough. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will legal work on the property involve investigations to determine if these works are permitted?
Your solicitor will review the registered title as conveyancing in Queenborough can sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of alterations or require the consent of another owner. Many works call for local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be wise to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
We are getting the release of further monies on our home loan from Clydesdale as we wish to carry out alterations to our home in Queenborough. Do we need to appoint a local Queenborough solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Clydesdale would not normally instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
Intending to buy a flat in Queenborough. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Kent Reliance 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 Queenborough property lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.
Have completed on a a detached house in Queenborough , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Queenborough conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the post completion formalities are dealt with.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Queenborough registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any 3rd parties. At present approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not usually an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Queenborough. Conveyancing is necessary evil 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.

Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. 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. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. 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.
How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial offices in Queenborough and how can you help?
The 1954 Act affords protection to business tenants, granting the dueness to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Queenborough. Conveyancing and Coventry Building Society mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing solicitor in Queenborough who previously acted has long since retired. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Queenborough conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
