We decided to go with a local solicitor for my conveyancing in Riding Mill last week. Upon checking the fine print it is apparent thatI am on the hook for costs even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to use an on-line lawyer offering no completion no charge conveyancing in Riding Mill?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to cover those conveyances that do not go ahead. Dont forget that such arrangements tend not to cover outlay by way of example Riding Mill conveyancing search costs.
My aunt passed away last year and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Riding Mill. The house had a small mortgage left on it of around £8000. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Nottingham, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?
If you plan to re-mortgage then Nottingham will require that you use a conveyancer on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your Nottingham conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the Nottingham mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a garden flat in Riding Mill. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Riding Mill?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to collect the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
When it comes to lenders such as Coventry BS, do Riding Mill conveyancers have to pay a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are not aware of any bank fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
Can I be sure that the Riding Mill conveyancing solicitor on the Coventry BS panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Riding Mill obtaining recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your transaction.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Riding Mill is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Riding Mill are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Riding Mill you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Riding Mill may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

I am employed by a reputable estate agency in Riding Mill where we have witnessed a few flat sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local Riding Mill conveyancing solicitors. Can you clarify whether the owner of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
I purchased a basement flat in Riding Mill, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Similar properties in Riding Mill with a long lease are worth £222,000. The ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2095
You have 70 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
