Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Sneyd Park

I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (five years built) in Sneyd Park. Almost all the properties are already occupied. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Sneyd Park?

You would be opening yourself up to an unnecessary risk in refusing to carrying out Sneyd Park conveyancing searches. Without searches you have no clarity over flooding, environmental etc which may mean you walk away due to potential problems down the line. If you are buying without a mortgage there is no legal requirement to have them, but we would seriously advise in the strongest possible terms that you have them. If time pressures and driving down costs are primary concerns you should discuss with your lawyer about the option of search insurance

My husband and I are buying a newly converted flat in Sneyd Park with a homeloan from Virgin Money.We like our Sneyd Park conveyancing solicitor but Virgin Money advised that she’s not listed on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Virgin Money panel lawyer or retain our local solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the Virgin Money solicitor panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Virgin Money

We are planning to move house in June. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Sneyd Park. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across your site.

On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from your property agent but this can only take place once the sellers solicitors inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be collected. After that you can advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Sneyd Park or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Sneyd Park.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Nottingham, do Sneyd Park conveyancers have to pay a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Nottingham are being pedantic. The Sneyd Park solicitor who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Nottingham are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Nottingham have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Nottingham have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nottingham may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

How easy is it to transfer to a new solicitor as I need to find a firm on the Virgin Money conveyancing list. I had appointed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Sneyd Park round the corner but the firm is not approved by Virgin Money

I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that appears to meet my requirements, at a great figure which is making it more attractive. I have just discovered that the title is leasehold as opposed to freehold. I am assuming that there are issues buying a house with a leasehold title in Sneyd Park. Conveyancing advisers have are about to be appointed. Will my lawyers set out the implications of buying a leasehold house in Sneyd Park ?

The majority of houses in Sneyd Park are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor used to dealing with such properties who can help the conveyancing process. it is apparent that you are buying in Sneyd Park in which case you should be shopping around for a Sneyd Park conveyancing solicitor and be sure that they are used to advising on leasehold houses. First you will need to check the number of years remaining. Being a lessee you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want with the house. The lease comes with conditions for example requiring the freeholder’sconsent to carry out alterations. You may also be required to pay a contribution towards the maintenance of the estate where the house is part of an estate. Your lawyer should appraise you on the various issues.

I inherited a ground floor flat in Sneyd Park, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar properties in Sneyd Park with an extended lease are worth £186,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2076

With just 51 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £30,400 and £35,200 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

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 comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

Your search tool is useful but there are many lawyers listed near Sneyd Park being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. It would be a lot more helpful if you could recommend a specific firm on the bank approved panel?

We are not in the business of recommending one firm above another as the right Sneyd Park conveyancing solicitor for you depends on where your priorities lie. For example you may require a local firm with Sneyd Park knowledge or you might be looking for the low cost conveyancing. Before you appoint your lawyer we advise you to speak to two or three of the the firms listed to gain comfort as to which one is right for you..
