My wife and I have just acquired a house in Wombourne. We have since encountered a number of problems with the house which we believe were missed in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been conducted for conveyancing in Wombourne?
The query is vague as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Wombourne. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller fills in a questionnaire referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers is incorrect, then you may have a claim against the vendor for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Wombourne.

Some major banks and building societies now make use of CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Clydesdale completed the valuation? Have you advised Clydesdale as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
Have completed on a a detached house in Wombourne , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Wombourne conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the registration formalities are addressed.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Wombourne registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not typically primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Wombourne is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Wombourne are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Wombourne you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wombourne may ascertain 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.

What are the legal fees for lease extension work? Can they put you in touch with clients in Wombourne who can give a testimonial?
I bought a basement flat in Wombourne, conveyancing was carried out 8 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Wombourne with a long lease are worth £216,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease terminates on 21st October 2093
With 69 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 plus costs.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
