Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with UBS. Sharnbrook conveyancing lawyers are selected. How long does it take for UBS to send the offer to the property lawyer?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have UBS completed the survey? Have you advised UBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the UBS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Lloyds. Is it usual for Lloyds to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Sharnbrook is approved on their conveyancing panel? Lloyds have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Lloyds to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Unless a previous purchase of the property took place after 12 October 2013 you can expect solicitors conducting conveyancing in Sharnbrook to continue to recommend a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.

How does conveyancing in Sharnbrook differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Sharnbrook approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Sharnbrook typically acquire the real estate, 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 Sharnbrook or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Sharnbrook is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Sharnbrook are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Sharnbrook you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sharnbrook may decide 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 property.

Looking forward to sign contracts shortly on a leasehold property in Sharnbrook. Conveyancing lawyers have said that they are sending me a report tomorrow. What should I be looking out for?

    The landlord’s rights to access the property. You should be made aware that your landlord has rights of access as well as be informed how much notice must be provided.

I acquired a 1st floor flat in Sharnbrook, conveyancing having been completed in 1998. How much will my lease extension cost? Comparable flats in Sharnbrook with a long lease are worth £186,000. The ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2078

With just 53 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £27,600 and £31,800 as well as professional fees.
