I have recentlyfound out that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Sileby for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I establish that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Sileby conveyancing specialists.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Sileby I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Sileby for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent advised that the owners will only move forward if we use their preferred solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Sileby
We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is counter productive. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Sileby conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will provide their estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by head office.
I have just started marketing my ground floor apartment in Sileby. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently had a yearly service charge demand – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the maintenance contribution as normal as all rents and service payments will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I inherited a 1st floor flat in Sileby, conveyancing was carried out in 1999. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Corresponding properties in Sileby with over 90 years remaining are worth £185,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease finishes on 21st October 2084
With 59 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £20,900 and £24,200 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
My husband and I are acquiring a 2 bedroom flat in Sileby. When we first instructed conveyancer, they said that they were on all major UK lender panels. The financial adviser emailed today to advise that they don't appear to be on the Co-operative approved list. Should that be true, what should we do? Do we simply choose a new conveyancing practitioner that is on their panel or do we cover the costs for dual representation, with Co-operative selecting their own preferred solicitor.
If you are buying a property needing a mortgage it is usual for the buyer’s lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a lawyer has to be on that lender's list of approved lawyers. An application has to be made by the lawyer to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the lawyer has to meet. Some banks now insist their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your conveyancing practitioner should call Co-operative to find out if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on Co-operative's conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Sileby lawyers, in which case it will likely add costs, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.
