Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Rugby is more expensive?

The conveyancing costs on a leasehold premises in Rugby is frequently higher than on a freehold residence. This is due to the supplemental time necessary in liaising with the freeholder and management company to obtain information about whether the rent and maintenance charges have been discharged and whether there are any large sums expected to be spent in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the building.

We are purchasing a apartment in Rugby. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? On the day of competition we will need to send our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our deposit?

My husband and I are in the process of looking at apartments in Rugby and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Nottingham.

It would be sensible to commence your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the selling agent. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Nottingham, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

I currently have a mortgage with Virgin Money for my property in Rugby. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. Should I wish to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Virgin Money?

You must advise Virgin Money in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Virgin Money’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Virgin Money directly. You need not do this via a Virgin Money conveyancing panel lawyer.

The deeds to our house are lost. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Rugby 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?

I own a leasehold flat in Rugby. Conveyancing and Platform Home Loans Ltd mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing practitioner in Rugby who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?

First contact the Land Registry to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Rugby conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

I own a 1st floor flat in Rugby, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar properties in Rugby with over 90 years remaining are worth £195,000. The ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2088

With only 63 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £16,200 and £18,600 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.

I need to consider estimates for conveyancing in Rugby from various solicitor and decide on one. Should I get them to sit tight until I I have an offer accepted on a flat.

You should wait to request your conveyancer to start work and apply for searches after the sales memorandum has been issued by the estate agent particularly as Rugby conveyancing searches are not inexpensive.
