Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Tintern

I am in the market for a low cost conveyancer. Should I go for for a web based conveyancer as opposed to a local Tintern conveyancing lawyer?

Generally conveyancing practitioners in your location will have excellent alliances with your local authority, which can assist with your Tintern conveyancing searches that your conveyancer will require. It can only help if they enjoy strong rapport with the Local Land Registry Office your area Tintern, other lawyers in the location and Tintern Estate Agents.

My Tintern solicitor has identified a difference between the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer has advised that he must check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my lawyer’s approach correct?

Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Tintern costs more?

Tintern leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.

My Conveyancer in Tintern has never been on on the HSBC Bank Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to use my prefered solicitor even though they are excluded from the HSBC Bank list of approved lawyers?

Your options are as follows:

  1. Complete the purchase with your preferred Tintern solicitors but HSBC Bank will need to instruct a lawyer on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the total conveyancing charges and cause delays.
  2. Get an alternative lawyer to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are HSBC Bank approved.
  3. Persuade your HSBC Bank based solicitor to try to join the HSBC Bank panel

There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in Tintern but how do I know who I should use?

We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Tintern conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

is it true that all Tintern solicitor firms on the Lloyds conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the practice would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I have paid off my mortgage with Aldermore. I assume I don't need a Tintern conveyancing practitioner on the Aldermore panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Aldermore 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 Aldermore mortgage from the register. Aldermore, 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:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Aldermore has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Aldermore has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Aldermore mortgage has been paid off.

I work for a busy estate agency in Tintern where we see a few flat sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given conflicting advice from local Tintern conveyancing solicitors. Can you clarify whether the seller of a flat can commence the lease extension process for the buyer?

As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.

An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.

I inherited a leasehold flat in Tintern, conveyancing having been completed 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? Equivalent flats in Tintern with over 90 years remaining are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease terminates on 21st October 2093

With only 67 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £10,500 and £12,000 plus legals.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
