In your best case scenario, in deciding on cheap conveyancing, you will end up with what you pay for and at worst you will end up being stung for additional fees and still not receive the service you were looking for.

I'm the only beneficiary of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in St Mawes. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in July. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be considered the same way as if I'd bought the house in July. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this clause is principally there to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of property.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nationwide. Is it usual for Nationwide to only issue the offer once my solicitor in St Mawes is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nationwide have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nationwide to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in St Mawes accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have placed an offer on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have selected a local conveyancing solicitor in St Mawes. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Nottingham?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, St Mawes conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some buyers will apply for a home loan with Nottingham and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in St Mawes.
I have justdiscovered that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in St Mawes for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to check if the property is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of St Mawes conveyancing specialists.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in St Mawes I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in St Mawes in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could 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 term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in St Mawes. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in St Mawes - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I bought a leasehold flat in St Mawes, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in St Mawes with an extended lease are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2084
With 58 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £22,800 and £26,400 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 due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should 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.
