I am selling my home in Welwyn Garden City. Does the solicitor need to be required to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Skipton 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 panel criteria fairly frequently at the moment.

What does commercial conveyancing in Welwyn Garden City cover?

Commercial conveyancing in Welwyn Garden City incorporates a broad range of guidance, offered by regulated solicitors, relating to business premises. By way of example, this type of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more usually, the transfer of existing leases or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial mortgages and the termination of leases.

Last May I purchased a leasehold flat in Welwyn Garden City. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

I bought a studio flat in Welwyn Garden City, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2010. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in Welwyn Garden City with over 90 years remaining are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2092

With just 66 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £11,400 and £13,200 plus costs.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues 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.

Two months into buying a property in Welwyn Garden City. Conveyancing solicitor has phoned to say the property is "Leasehold". Does this adversely affect our mortgage valuation?

Welwyn Garden City conveyancing does not normally involve leasehold houses. The key consideration here is the unexpired lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a nominal rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it shouldn't impact the saleability significantly.

At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, fifty five years it is bound to have a material effect on the value, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the bank. The length of lease and ground rent will be set out in the lease which should be made available to your conveyancer.
