Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Winton

Me and my partner are purchasing a flat in Winton. My Solicitor is not on the bank solicitor panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my Winton conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

You must appoint a conveyancer to complete the formalities when you take out a loan to buy your home. The lawyer will conduct all the relevant investigations on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. You could instruct a Winton conveyancer of your choosing. However, where the conveyancing practitioner appointed is not a member of the bank conveyancing panel further costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Lender panel applications may be submitted, so if your conveyancer has not in the past applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Winton. I have a mortgage offer with Santander. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Santander, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel.

I've digested plenty of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Winton solicitor - who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?

Yorkshire BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Yorkshire BS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Winton postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Winton.

Our offer on a detached house in Winton has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a property, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Winton. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with RBS started?

It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Winton conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your property lawyer is on the RBS approved list. As to the next steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many buyers will apply for the mortgage with RBS and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to press on with the conveyancing in Winton.

What does a local search reveal concerning the property my wife and I purchasing in Winton?

Winton conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search organisations for example Searchflow The local search is essential in every Winton conveyancing purchase; as long as you don’t want any unpleasant once you have moved into your new home. The search will supply information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen topic sections.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Winton is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Winton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Winton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Winton may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

I am attracted to a two apartments in Winton both have approximately 50 years unexpired on the leases. should I be concerned?

There are no two ways about it. A leasehold flat in Winton is a deteriorating asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The nearer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it adversely affects the salability of the premises. The majority of buyers and banks, leases with less than 75 years become less and less attractive. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of premises with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Winton conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. More often than not it is possible to negotiate informally with the freeholder to extend the lease. They may agree to a smaller lump sum and an increase in the ground rent, but to shorter extension terms in return. You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.

I purchased a ground floor flat in Winton, conveyancing was carried out 8 years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Corresponding properties in Winton with over 90 years remaining are worth £206,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease runs out on 21st October 2091

You have 66 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £11,400 and £13,200 plus legals.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
