I'm in the process of changing my current homeowner loan to a BTL Skipton Building Society mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I must appoint a lawyer for this. I had a chat my former Stockbridge Village conveyancing solicitor who acted on my behalf when I first purchased the house. The quote sent of £470 is an eye-watering amount to do this as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.

On the other hand, providing that you were pleased with the service the firm provided you mightlive to rue opting for an a cheaper solicitor.

We are selling our house in Stockbridge Village. Will the conveyancer have to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently currently.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Stockbridge Village. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Stockbridge Village - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details 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 own a 2 bed flat in Stockbridge Village, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Comparable properties in Stockbridge Village with an extended lease are worth £185,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 2084
With only 59 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to range between £20,900 and £24,200 plus 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 are not able to advice on the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
