Can the conveyancing lawyers that you recommend perform conveyancing in Stokesley by way of an attended exchange?

We do have a number of conveyancing specialists carrying out personalised exchanges. Please call us to secure a conveyancing quote and details as to dates.

The Stokesley conveyancing solicitors that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Stokesley have suddenly shut down. I chose them because I had to have a firm on the Nottingham conveyancing panel and my previous Stokesley lawyer was not. I issued them a cheque for two hundred pounds in advance. What should be my next steps?

If you have an estate agent involved then inform them immediately so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors should be in a position to assist.

We had instructed conveyancing lawyers based in Stokesley on the Principality solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional sum for handling the Principality mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Principality?

Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer may levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Principality but by your Stokesley conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Principality panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Bank of Ireland as we want to conduct alterations to our home in Stokesley. Are we obliged to appoint a local Stokesley solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

Bank of Ireland do not ordinarily require a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Stokesley. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?

Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Stokesley ahead of retaining conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor has said that some lenders will refuse to grant a mortgage on such a property.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different requirements from Halifax. If you contact us we can look into this further with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Stokesley. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

Jane (my partner) and I may need to sub-let our Stokesley garden flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Stokesley conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

A small minority of properties in Stokesley do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

I inherited a garden flat in Stokesley, conveyancing having been completed in 2006. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Similar properties in Stokesley with an extended lease are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £65 charged once a year. The lease expires on 21st October 2087

With 61 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £19,000 and £22,000 plus professional fees.

The figure above 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. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
