I have paid off my mortgage with Principality. I assume I don't need a Warkworth conveyancer on the Principality panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Principality 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 Principality mortgage from the register. Principality, 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 Principality has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Principality has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Principality mortgage has been paid off.

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Warkworth. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £175. Shortly after, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me to say that they were not on the TSB conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the TSB panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

How does conveyancing in Warkworth differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Warkworth contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because builders in Warkworth typically acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Warkworth or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Warkworth I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Warkworth for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business premises in Warkworth and how can your lawyers assist?

The 1954 Act gives protection to business tenants, giving them the right to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are involved. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing firms who use the act for protection and assist with commercial conveyancing in Warkworth

Planning to exchange soon on a ground floor flat in Warkworth. Conveyancing lawyers inform me that they will have a report out to me on Monday. What should I be looking out for?

Your report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Warkworth should include some of the following:

    What options are available to the landlord where you are in breach of your lease terms? Changes to the flat You should be advised what is to be regarded as a Nuisance as far as the lease is concerned Whether the landlord has obligations to ensure rights of quiet enjoyment over your property and do you know what it means in practice? You should have a good understanding of the insurance provisions
For details of the information to be included in your report on your leasehold property in Warkworth please ask your conveyancer in ahead of your conveyancing in Warkworth.

I own a split level flat in Warkworth, conveyancing formalities finalised 10 years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent flats in Warkworth with a long lease are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 charged once a year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2093

With only 69 years left to run the likely cost is going to be between £9,500 and £11,000 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 cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns 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 based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
