Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Stroud

I can't travel far from Stroud. What is the rationale as to why all Stroud property lawyers are not on all mortgage company panels?

Banks point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud every year.The elimination of law firms from lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. This led to mortgage companies culling less reputable firms off their official list of approved solicitors .

If all goes to plan we aim to complete our sale of a £300,000 garden flat in Stroud in just under a week. The landlords agents has quoted £348 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and 3 years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Stroud?

For the majority of leasehold sales in Stroud conveyancing will involve, queries regarding the management of a building inevitably needing to be answered directly by the freeholder or its agent, this includes :

    Completing conveyancing due diligence questions Where consent is required before sale in Stroud Supplying insurance information Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your solicitor will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Stroud leasehold premises is £350. For Stroud 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 bought a basement flat in Stroud, conveyancing was carried out 5 years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Similar properties in Stroud with an extended lease are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2092

With just 66 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £12,400 and £14,200 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other 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 without first getting professional advice.

The CLC will let you know what information they have and any additional information they may need before they are in a position to identify and send the documents to you.
