Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Sandiacre

My financial adviser says he needs my Sandiacre solicitor’s panel reference for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. What is the best way to obtain this. I have contacted my local Sandiacre branch but they cant find it on their system.

You are best placed to get this information from your Sandiacre property lawyer . Most Sandiacre conveyancing firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.

Our solicitor has discovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Sandiacre. The seller’s lawyers have put forward defective title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our lawyer has advised that he must ensure that the bank is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?

Regardless of the fact that you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. You and the lender are the client. The appropriate lender conditions have to be complied with.

I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would much rather instruct a high street conveyancing solicitor in Sandiacre?

You should check but the the likelihood is that give you one of their panel conveyancers where you accept the "fee-free" incentive. Call the bank to explore if they allow a cash alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Sandiacre.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Sandiacre?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Sandiacre. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Sandiacre before instructing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will not give a mortgage on this type of premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions from Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can check via the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Sandiacre. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

I want to rent out my leasehold apartment in Sandiacre. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?

Your lease dictates relations between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; in particular, it will set out if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Sandiacre do not contain an absolute prevention of subletting – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the flat. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the sublease.

I invested in buying a 1st floor flat in Sandiacre, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable properties in Sandiacre with over 90 years remaining are worth £191,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease terminates on 21st October 2079

You have 54 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as costs.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should 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 placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
