Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wickersley

IfI were to buy a freehold housein Wickersley for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Wickersley?

Any savings you would achieve will be isolated to the Wickersley conveyancing searches. The conveyancing practitioner still got to do everything else - money laundering, communicating with your sellers lawyer, stamp duty submission, register the property etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge but it will not be significant.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel lawyer as I would much rather use a Wickersley based conveyancing firm?

Do check but the the likelihood is that appoint one of their panel conveyancers should you accept the "fee-free" incentive. Speak to the mortgage company and ask if they offer you a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Wickersley.

We previously selected solicitors locally in Wickersley on the Kent Reliance solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional fee for handling the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Kent Reliance?

Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer may charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by Kent Reliance but by your Wickersley property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Kent Reliance panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.

I have paid off my mortgage with Coventry BS. I assume I don't need a Wickersley conveyancing practitioner on the Coventry BS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

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

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Coventry BS are being pedantic. The Wickersley solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Coventry BS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

My colleague suggested that if I am buying in Wickersley I should ask my conveyancer to carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

This is a search is occasionally included in the estimate for your Wickersley conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of more than thirty pages, listing and detailing important information about Wickersley around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Wickersley Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data concerning Wickersley.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Wickersley. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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.

Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Wickersley

    Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Wickersley I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Wickersley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
