Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Robin Hoods Bay

Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my solicitor in Robin Hoods Bay is not identified on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his work?

That is most likely an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Robin Hoods Bay conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your bank.

I have justfound out that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Robin Hoods Bay for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

I am looking at a couple of flats in Robin Hoods Bay both have approximately 50 years unexpired on the leases. Will this present a problem?

A lease is a right to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease gets shorter the value of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is often a good idea to extend the lease term. Sometimes it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We advise that you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.

I own a 1st floor flat in Robin Hoods Bay, conveyancing having been completed in 2012. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Similar flats in Robin Hoods Bay with a long lease are worth £176,000. The ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease runs out on 21st October 2075

You have 50 years left to run the likely cost is going to be between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
