Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Tutbury

Me and my husband are purchasing residence in Tutbury. My Solicitor has never been on on the bank solicitor panel. Can I still use my Tutbury conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

You will need to instruct a lawyer to deal with the legal work required if you take out a loan to buy your property. The conveyancer will carry out all the necessary legal checks on the property, make sure that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. One can instruct a Tutbury property lawyer of your choice. Nevertheless, if the conveyancer appointed is not a member of the bank solicitor panel supplemental fees will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications may be submitted, so provided your solicitor has not in the past sought membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

The sellers of the home we are purchasing have instructed a conveyancing solicitor in Tutbury who has recommended a exclusivity agreement with a deposit 6,000. Are such contracts generally advanced for Tutbury conveyancing transactions?

Exclusivity agreements are contracts binding a property vendor and purchaser granting the buyer a ‘clear field’ to the sale of the property for a certain period of time. For all intents and purposes, a lock out is a document stating that you should receive a contract at a later date which is the contract for the actual sale. It tends to be utilised for buyer confidence though in some cases, the proprietor may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are various pros and cons to using them but you should to check with your lawyer but note that it may end up incurring extra in conveyancing charges. For these reasons these agreements are not popular when it comes to conveyancing in Tutbury.

I am selling my apartment in Tutbury. Will my conveyancer need to be required to be on the UBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the UBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently currently.

We are intent on selling our property in Tutbury and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Tutbury. Having lived in Tutbury for many years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)

About to purchase a new build flat in Tutbury. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Tutbury

    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. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to appointing a Tutbury conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?

When appointing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Tutbury conveyancing firm) it is essential that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We suggest that you speak with two or three firms including non Tutbury conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be helpful:

    What are the legal fees for lease extension conveyancing? How familiar is the firm with lease extension legislation?

I am the registered owner of a 2 bed flat in Tutbury, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Similar flats in Tutbury with over 90 years remaining are worth £211,000. The ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease runs out on 21st October 2092

With 67 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to range between £10,500 and £12,000 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns 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 seeking the advice of a professional.
