Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Selsey

In the event thatI were to buy a straightforward propertyin Selsey mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Selsey?

Any savings you would achieve would be limited to the Selsey conveyancing searches. Your property lawyer still got to do everything else - money laundering, correspond with the sellers conveyancing practitioner, SDLT return, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a mortgage but it won't be meaningful.

We wanted to use a property lawyer in Selsey for our house move. Our financial adviser has since notified us that our bank Halifax won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?

A decade ago most mortgage companies had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Selsey conveyancing firms would have been on many bank panels. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 conducted a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders are increasingly seeing more information from law firms relating to their operations and their employees as well as establishing certain criteria such a completing on a minimum volume of conveyancing. Many Selsey conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Selsey is amongst the hundreds of locations where the lawyers we list are members of the panel for Halifax.

Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are the primary cause of delay in Selsey house deals. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Selsey.

My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, but the property agent told us that the owners will only go ahead if we instruct their recommended lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Selsey

It is unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to instruct your own,trusted Selsey conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a commission or meet his conveyancing targets set by senior management.

I wish to sublet my leasehold flat in Selsey. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?

Some leases for properties in Selsey do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.

I purchased a ground floor flat in Selsey, conveyancing having been completed in 2004. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Selsey with a long lease are worth £190,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2086

With only 62 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £17,100 and £19,800 plus legals.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do 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 clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
