Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Redfield

Why do I have to pay up front for my conveyancing in Redfield?

Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Redfield your solicitor will request that you place them with funds to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the conveyancing searches. When the deposit is as part of the sale price then this should be asked for shortly in advance of exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is due should be transferred a few days ahead of the completion date.

I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Redfield. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £150. Not long after, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me to say that they were not on the Principality conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Principality panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Principality are being difficult. The Redfield solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Principality are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Redfield accepted, the sellers do nevertheless have a connected purchase. The vendors have put an offer on a property, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a high street conveyancing solicitor in Redfield. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Nationwide going?

It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Redfield conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your property lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. As to the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some buyers would apply for the mortgage with Nationwide and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their property lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Redfield.

I have been told that property searches are the number one cause of hinderance in Redfield house deals. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Redfield.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Redfield. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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 are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Redfield

    The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please supply a car parking plan. 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 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. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.

I am intending to rent out my leasehold apartment in Redfield. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Do I need to ask my freeholder for their consent?

A small minority of properties in Redfield do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse 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 own a 1 bedroom flat in Redfield, conveyancing having been completed 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 Redfield with an extended lease are worth £201,000. The ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease expires on 21st October 2090

With 65 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £13,300 and £15,400 plus legals.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
