Does a directory service exist listing Barclays panel conveyancers in Spondon on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
No. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of mortgage companies make their panel listings open the public on the web. Where you are looking for a Spondon property lawyer on the Barclays please use our facility.
We expect to receive a DIP from Nationwide this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nationwide recommend any Spondon solicitors on the Nationwide conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Spondon solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nationwide through the process.
It is unclear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Spondon bank branch on numerous occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Spondon conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the property lawyer is on the lender approved list, she or he must adhere to the CML Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Spondon is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Spondon are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Spondon you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Spondon may ascertain 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.

My husband and I are a fortnight into a residential purchase having been directed to solicitors by the estate agent to carry out the conveyancing in Spondon. We are not happy. Could you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?
They would need to be very poor in order to consider replacing them. Has your loan offer been generated? In the event that it has you need to inform them of the new lawyer and have the mortgage documents are re-sent. The conveyancer should be on the lenders panel to avoid escalating costs and delays. So that should be your starting point. Our search tool will assist you in finding a lender approved solicitor for your conveyancing in Spondon
I am employed by a busy estate agent office in Spondon where we have witnessed a few flat sales derailed due to short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local Spondon conveyancing firms. Can you confirm whether the seller of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser 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 has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is 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 inherited a ground floor flat in Spondon, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Corresponding properties in Spondon with an extended lease are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2091
With just 66 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £11,400 and £13,200 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
Do I cancel the direct debit for my mortgage with Bank of Ireland once a completion date for my home sale in Spondon has been agreed?
No, you must continue meeting any mortgage sums to Bank of Ireland until the mortgage is paid off on completion as part of your Spondon conveyancing.
