Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Thurston

Willretaining a Thurston conveyancing practitioner make my purchase more efficient?

Existing third party connections is an important consideration when choosing conveyancing solicitors. Thurston conveyancers benefit from long term relationships with mortgage brokers and selling, local authorities, valuers and other law firms meaning you will move in shortest possible time. Having a sound knowledge of the local area also helps too.

I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (seven years built) in Thurston. The vast majority the properties are already occupied. Is it strictly necessary to order neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Thurston?

If you getting a loan, your mortgage company will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Thurston conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your solicitor, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you insist that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Thurston.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Thurston. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Thurston

    The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

I have been advised by a number of selling agents in Thurston to find a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?

We refuse to make any financial incentive for directing people our way. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

I am intending to sublet my leasehold apartment in Thurston. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?

Your lease dictates the relationship between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will indicate if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Thurston do not contain strict prohibition on subletting – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the flat. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a duplicate of the tenancy agreement.

I acquired a garden flat in Thurston, conveyancing was carried out November 2002. 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 Thurston with an extended lease are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2093

You have 68 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to range between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
