Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Stallingborough

I can't travel far from Stallingborough. I would like to know the logic why all Stallingborough lawyers are not on all lender panels?

Before the recession most mortgage companies exhibited an approach to risk which differs from the current day. The financial regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic review into mortgage fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the solicitors on your panel. As a result, banks have since soughtmore data from law firms regarding their operations and the individuals employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Hundreds of firms have been removed from lender panels even though they had an exemplary disciplinary record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to meet the criteria of amount of transactions the lenders insisted on.

I own a freehold house in Stallingborough but still charged rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Stallingborough and has limited impact for conveyancing in Stallingborough but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of new rentcharges post 1977.

Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be extinguished.

About to place an offer on a leasehold flat in Stallingborough. The property agents tell me that it is standard for flats in Stallingborough to have less than 75 years remaining. I am getting a mortgage with Platform. Is this going to be acceptable if the lease has 69 years unexpired.

Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are securing a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Platform have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 10/2/2026 the requirements read as follows :

Minimum 85 years unexpired from completion, except where the mortgage application is pursuant to Platform's participation in the Government's Help to Buy Shared Equity scheme, in which case (a) the unexpired lease term must not be less than 250 years for new-build houses and not less than 125 years for new-build flats and (b) ground rent must be reasonable at all times and any escalation must be linked to RPI (Retail Price Index) or a similar index.

Will our solicitor be making enquiries regarding flooding as part of the conveyancing in Stallingborough.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Stallingborough. There are those who acquire a property in Stallingborough, fully expectant that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or sell the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of checks that can be carried out by the buyer or by their conveyancers which should figure out the risks in Stallingborough. The standard completed inquiry forms sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a standard inquiry of the seller to discover if the premises has suffered from flooding. If flooding has previously occurred which is not notified by the seller, then a buyer could bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate response. A purchaser’s lawyers should also commission an environmental report. This will indicate whether there is a recorded flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be conducted.

The deeds to my home can not be found. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Stallingborough 5 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?

Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for twenty pounds.
