Please explain the implications if my solicitor is expelled from the Barclays Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Redditch?
First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
I am buying a new build house in Redditch benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Redditch prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. Our surveyor has said that some lenders tend refuse to grant a mortgage on this type of home.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements from Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can look into this further via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Redditch. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Redditch to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
I need to instruct a conveyancing lawyer in Redditch for my home move. Is there any facility to check a solicitor's complaints history with the profession’s regulator?
One may review presented Solicitor Regulator Association (SRA) determinations arising from investigations commenced on or after Jan 2008. Go to Check a solicitor's record. To find information about the period before 1 January 2008, or to check a firm's record, phone 0870 606 2555, 08.00 - 18.00 Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and 09.30 - 18.00 Tuesday. International callers, call +44 (0)121 329 6800. The SRA could monitor telephone calls for training reasons.
I have just started marketing my garden apartment in Redditch. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently received a quarterly service charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the maintenance contribution as usual as all ground rent and service invoices should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
I inherited a leasehold flat in Redditch, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent properties in Redditch with an extended lease are worth £202,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 per annum. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2082
With only 56 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £29,500 and £34,000 plus legals.
The figure 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 comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
