I have paid off my mortgage with UBS. I assume I don't need a Stanley conveyancer on the UBS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your UBS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the UBS mortgage from the register. UBS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where UBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. UBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your UBS mortgage has been paid off.

After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Stanley. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £200. Not long after, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me to say that they were not on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nationwide panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Stanley with a mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd. The developers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep told me not to tell my conveyancer about the deal as it could adversely affect my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I'm converting the mortgage on my primary home to a BTL mortgage with Leeds Building Society and intend to use the remaining equity as a deposit on another house.

Do use our search tool on this page to ensure that the lawyers are approved by both banks. Having checked that they are the conveyancer should be able to tie up the two conveyancing matters but you should have a chat with you lawyer and make clear your expectations and needs.

All being well we will complete the disposal of our £325,000 garden flat in Stanley next week. The landlords agents has quoted £348 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and previous years service charge statements. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in Stanley?

Stanley conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes ordinarily necessitates fees being levied by freeholders :

    Answering pre-contract questions Where consent is required before sale in Stanley Supplying insurance information Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your conveyancer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Stanley leasehold property is £350. For Stanley conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are obliged to provide the information.

I invested in buying a 2 bed flat in Stanley, conveyancing was carried out in 2002. How much will my lease extension cost? Similar flats in Stanley with an extended lease are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 charged once a year. The lease expires on 21st October 2090

With just 64 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £15,200 and £17,600 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 are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
