Recently asked questions about conveyancing in St Agnes

It is is a decade since I acquired my property in St Agnes. Conveyancing lawyers have just been appointed on the sale but I can't find the title deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who oversaw the purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in St Agnes involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.

My wife and I are spending time looking at houses in St Agnes and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a home loan with Bank of Ireland.

It would be advisable to start your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the estate agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

Planning on purchasing a flat in St Agnes. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Principality 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 St Agnes property lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel.

Nationwide have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a property in St Agnes has been agreed to, what happens next?

Your estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (make sure the conveyancers are on the lender’s panel). Contact Nationwide or the broker and finalise any relevant documentation. Nationwide will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or vendor to schedule an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days to get a mortgage offer. Nationwide will issue the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in St Agnes.

I have todaybecome aware that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in St Agnes for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I check that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?

What are your top tips when it comes to appointing a St Agnes conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?

When appointing a property lawyer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a St Agnes conveyancing firm) it is essential that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We advise that you talk with two or three firms including non St Agnes conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be useful:

    How experienced is the firm with lease extension legislation? Can they put you in touch with clients in St Agnes who can give a testimonial?

I invested in buying a studio flat in St Agnes, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in St Agnes with over 90 years remaining are worth £216,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease ceases on 21st October 2094

With only 69 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 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 renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure 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.

My wife and I have had DIP from TSB who indicated that they will lend up to £300k. At what point do I need to instruct a lawyer for conveyancing? St Agnes is where we plan to move to.

You can appoint a solicitor now requesting that they generate a file on your behalf. This will kickstart: 1) the estate agent to issue a Sales Memo to all parties 2) the seller’s lawyer to send out the draft paperwork. However, do not ask your lawyer to start searches until you receive your valuation report via TSB and you are content to proceed.
