We had chosen solicitors with offices in Rugeley on the Nottingham solicitor panel. They are now charging me a further charge for handling the Nottingham mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Nottingham?

Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your conveyancer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The fee is not set by Nottingham but by your Rugeley lawyer. Some firms on the Nottingham panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

It is not clear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Rugeley bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Rugeley conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.

Your solicitor must follow the CML Handbook Part 2 specifications for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Just bought a detached house in Rugeley , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Rugeley conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the registration is addressed.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Rugeley registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. As of today in the region of 80% of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not usually primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

How does conveyancing in Rugeley differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Rugeley contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because house builders in Rugeley typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Rugeley or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Rugeley is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Rugeley are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Rugeley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rugeley 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 premises.

22 days into a sale of a flat in Rugeley. Conveyancing is fine but we have been asked to pay a fortune from the managing agents. To date we have paid £275 for a leasehold management information and then another £118 for additional questions supplied by the buyers lawyer.

You will not have control over the extent of the fee for this information but the typical costs for the information for Rugeley leasehold premises is £350. When it comes to Rugeley conveyancing transactions it is standard for the seller to cover the costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer these questions although many will agree to do so - albeit often at high prices out of proportion to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that mandates set fees for administrative tasks. There is no set time limit by which they are required to supply the information.
