We previously instructed conveyancers located in Sprowston on the Bank of Ireland solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental fee for dealing with the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Bank of Ireland?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer may charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Bank of Ireland but by your Sprowston property lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Virgin Money are being difficult. The Sprowston solicitor who is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Virgin Money are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Virgin Money have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Virgin Money have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Virgin Money 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.

I inherited a split level flat in Sprowston, conveyancing was carried out 8 years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Sprowston with an extended lease are worth £197,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 levied per year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2080

You have 55 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £31,400 and £36,200 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 in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

We have been informed by various family members that it should take 6-8 weeks for Sprowston conveyancing to complete.This was four weeks ago. The paperwork was only received to my conveyancing practitioner yesterday so does the clock start running now?

Don't rely on counting down any 6-8 week suggested period. Addressing precisely how long Sprowston conveyancing will take is nigh on impossible. Every Sprowston conveyancing transaction will have it’s own unique set of complexities. Accordingly your lawyer should be unwilling to accurately predict the length of time it will take to complete your conveyancing in Sprowston.
