My husband and I are intent on buying a ground floor flat in Sileby. My Conveyancer has never been on on the bank conveyancing panel. Am I still permitted to retain my Sileby conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You have numerous alternatives available to you here
- Complete the purchase with your existing Sileby property lawyer but your lender will need to appoint a property lawyer from their conveyancing panel. The net result is additional charges and probable delay.
- Appoint a fresh property lawyer to act in the purchase, making sure they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel.
- Convince your lawyer to seek to join the bank panel
We wanted to use a property lawyer in Sileby for our house purchase. Our broker informed us that our bank Chelsea Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
A lender can insist on an approved conveyancer act for it. You would be liable to meet the charges for this. Please make use of our search facility to get a quote from a solicitor to carry conveyancing in Sileby on the Chelsea Building Society approved list of solicitors.
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Sileby. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Sileby?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
I happen to be the single recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Sileby. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in June. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. Most mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this provision principally exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
Barclays have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a flat in Sileby has been accepted, now what?
The property agent will need to know who your solicitors are (ensure that the property lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Call up Barclays or your broker and finish off any outstanding forms. Barclays will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to schedule an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week to receive the mortgage offer. Barclays will send the offer to you and your solicitors. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Sileby.
It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Sileby completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Sileby. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Sileby
-
Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
Planning to sign contracts shortly on a garden flat in Sileby. Conveyancing solicitors assured me that they report fully next week. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?
Your report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Sileby should include some of the following:

I own a split level flat in Sileby, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable properties in Sileby with a long lease are worth £179,000. The ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2083
You have 57 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £26,600 and £30,800 plus costs.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
