Can conveyancing in Thornton to be completed in 10 days?
Where you are under pressure to sign contracts it is advisable to make sure that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will benefit local relationships and intelligence. It is possible that they could have handled otherhomes in the same road. You would be best advised to use a Thornton conveyancing firm. In addition, make sure that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is claimed that 18% of Thornton conveyancing transactions are suspended or jeopardised after discovering a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their banks member panel. This can often result in the home move being held up by an average of 21 days. It is understood that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home sales annually. Almost all Thornton conveyancing practices can not act for certain mortgage companies so do check at the outset.
I am helping my mother sell her flat in Thornton. Does the conveyancing solicitor commission the energy assessment or do I organise this?
After the demise of HIPs, energy assessments remained a mandatory element of moving property. An energy performance certificate must be to hand in advance of the property being marketed. It is not something that law firms normally arrange. If you are using a Thornton conveyancing lawyer they may be willing to arrange energy assessments due to their contacts with reputable Thornton energy assessors

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Skipton. I assume I don't need a Thornton lawyer on the Skipton panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Skipton 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 Skipton mortgage from the register. Skipton, 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:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Skipton has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Skipton has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Thornton is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Thornton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Thornton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Thornton may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

I have recently realised that I have Sixty One years remaining on my flat in Thornton. I now want to extend my lease but my freeholder is absent. What options are available to me?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the magistrate. However, you will be required to prove that you have made all reasonable attempts to find the freeholder. For most situations a specialist may be useful to conduct investigations and to produce an expert document to be accepted by the court as evidence that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer in relation to investigating the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering Thornton.
I purchased a split level flat in Thornton, conveyancing formalities finalised 6 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? Equivalent flats in Thornton with over 90 years remaining are worth £186,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2079
With just 53 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £27,600 and £31,800 plus costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
