I am hoping to receive a offer of a home loan from Nat West. My intention is to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Ramsgate. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Nat West approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
We are nearing an exchange on a property in Ramsgate and my parents have transferred the 10% deposit to my conveyancer. I am now advised that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancing practitioner needs to make a notification to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really appropriate for him to raise this?
Your solicitor is legally required to check with mortgage company to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only notify this to your bank if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.
I have recentlydiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Ramsgate for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to check if the premises is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Ramsgate conveyancing specialists.
We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent told us that the owners will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's recommended solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Ramsgate
It is improbable the owners are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Contact the sellers directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Ramsgate conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will give their negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
Looking forward to complete next month on a studio apartment in Ramsgate. Conveyancing solicitors inform me that they are sending me a report within the next couple of days. What should I be looking out for?

I bought a 2 bed flat in Ramsgate, conveyancing having been completed 3 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar flats in Ramsgate with an extended lease are worth £221,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2096
You have 70 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 plus costs.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
As a leasehold owner I am liable for a service charge for my property in Ramsgate. As a result of flawed financial planning I slipped behind with payments. I negotiated a settlement schedule but there remains two due in arrears.
I now wish to dispose of the property and I am worried this can hold me back if I have to pay off the amount due now. I'd like to sell up and subsequently pay them back with the proceeds - is this possible?

This is an example of why it is advisable to select a property lawyer in Ramsgate as they are likely to have a strong line of communication with the parties.
