Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Skipton. Southend On Sea conveyancing solicitors are selected. How long does it take for Skipton to issue the offer to the lawyer?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Skipton conducted the valuation? Have you advised Skipton as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Skipton conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

About to purchase flat in Southend On Sea. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the TSB conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Southend On Sea conveyancing practitioner is on the TSB conveyancing panel.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Southend On Sea. 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 are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Southend On Sea

    If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. 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.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Southend On Sea I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Southend On Sea suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

I have been recommended by a couple of local estate agents in Southend On Sea to get a quote from a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your services rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?

We don’t offer any referral fee for sending work in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
