The Wombourne conveyancing firm handling our Wombourne conveyancing has identified an inconsistency when comparing the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My lawyer says that he is obliged to check that the bank is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action appropriate?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
I own a terraced Victorian house in Wombourne. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Nottingham Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should assess 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Wombourne and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

I inherited a split level flat in Wombourne, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Wombourne with an extended lease are worth £195,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease ceases on 21st October 2090
With only 64 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £14,300 and £16,400 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should 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.
