Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Whitmore

I purchased a renovated Victorian house in Whitmore. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Barclays Direct. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Whitmore and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.

I was recommended by a few selling agents in Whitmore to choose a property lawyer on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to market your site ahead of a competitor’s?

We refuse to offer any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

We're novice buyers - agreed a price, but the property agent told us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we instruct their chosen lawyers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Whitmore

It is unlikely the sellers are behind this. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Whitmore conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide the estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by corporate headquarters.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to finding a Whitmore conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?

If you are instructing a property lawyer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Whitmore conveyancing firm) it is essential that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We suggest that you make enquires with two or three firms including non Whitmore conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be useful:

    How familiar is the practice with lease extension legislation?

Whitmore Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - A selection of Queries Prior to Purchasing

    Most Whitmore leasehold apartments will have a service charge for maintenance of the building set on behalf of the management company. If you buy the apartment you will have to meet this contribution, usually periodically accross the year. This may differ from two or three hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for bigger purpose-built buildings. There will also be a rentcharge for you to pay yearly, this is usually not a significant sum, say about £50-£100 but you need to check as sometimes it can be surprisingly expensive. Are there any major works in the near future that will likely increase the maintenance fees? Are any of leasehold owners in dispute over their service charge liability?

Whilst your website is a good idea there are many lawyers listed near Whitmore being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a specific firm on the conveyancing panel for our mortgage company?

We do not recommend specific Whitmore firms as the right Whitmore conveyancing solicitor for you depends on where your priorities lie. For example you may require a local firm with Whitmore knowledge or you might be looking for the low cost conveyancing. We recommend that you speak to 3 or 4 lawyers listed before you make your choice..
