Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Warminster

Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Warminster who conducted the legals 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on the same type of home move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of similar values with a mortgage from Bank of Ireland. It looks as though am now being quoted twice the amount. Should I look for a cheaper internet property lawyer?

The estimate does seem a little overpriced. If you shop around you might shave off some of the cost by say £125. That being said, assuming were happy with the assistance the firm offered you couldlive to regret choosing an a cheaper conveyancer. Don't forget to check that the solicitor can represent Bank of Ireland.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Warminster. 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 may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Warminster

    Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? 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. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. 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.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Warminster I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Warminster in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

I'm converting the mortgage on my primary home to a BTL mortgage with Virgin Money and intend to use the remaining equity as a deposit on a second property. The neighborhood we are interested in is Warminster. Will your conveyancers be able to act for both sets of lenders and tie in the transactions?

Make use of our search tool on this page to be sure that the lawyers are on the relevant lender panels. Having checked that they are the conveyancer will be able to simultaneously deal with the two deals but you should talk with you conveyancer and make apparent your expectations and needs.

Do online conveyancing companies undertake everything a local Warminster solicitor does or do I still need to employ a solicitor for the final stages for my conveyancing in Warminster?

If you instruct an online conveyancer they should undertake all the tasks your Warminster solicitor will cover.
