My friend's step-father is a conveyancer. I expect that I'll be able to get preferential rates for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of costs would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Skellingthorpe?
Do contrast pricing. Make use of our search tool on this site. The estimates may be different but the service one can expect differ between law firms as is the case with the vast majority of professional services.
My son-in-law is in the process of securing a house that has just been built in Skellingthorpe with a mortgage from Co-operative. His solicitor has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Co-operative conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Skellingthorpe is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Skellingthorpe are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Skellingthorpe you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Skellingthorpe 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.
I am a negotiator for a long established estate agent office in Skellingthorpe where we see a few flat sales put at risk due to short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Skellingthorpe conveyancing solicitors. Please can you confirm whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
I purchased a basement flat in Skellingthorpe, conveyancing having been completed March 2012. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent flats in Skellingthorpe with over 90 years remaining are worth £265,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2099
You have 75 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as costs.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
Me and my husband are disposing of a Skellingthorpe property we inherited some years ago in 2011. I have over a decades worth of conveyancing experience and, although retired, see no reason not to carry out the conveyancing. The buyer's lawyer has informed me that their building society will not allow you to do your own conveyancing as they require the funds to be passed via a solicitor's bank account.
Mortgage requirements to conveyancers from all mainstream lenders specify that If the vendor is not legally represented the buyer’s lawyers should check whether the mortgage company needs to be notified so that a decision can be made if they are willing to progress.
