My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Wombourne. I I would like to check if they are accepted on the HSBC Bank conveyancing panel. Can you assist?
You should phone the solicitor and enquire if they can act for the lender. Otherwise please get in touch with HSBC Bank who may be able to confirm.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Wombourne is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Wombourne are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Wombourne you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wombourne 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 premises.

A conveyancer would need to be very poor in order to consider replacing them. Has your mortgage been generated? In the event that it has you need to make them aware of the new solicitor and ensure the offer are re-issued. Your conveyancer should be on the banks panel to avoid escalating costs and delays.

What are the frequently found deficiencies that you see in leases for Wombourne properties?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Wombourne. All leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain sections are erroneous. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
Repairing obligations to or maintain parts of the premises
You will encounter difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Lloyds TSB Bank, Coventry Building Society, and Aldermore all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, obliging the buyer to withdraw.

You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
Why do Wombourne conveyancing costs are more expensive for leasehold and freehold properties?
Inevitably there is increased work necessary for leasehold conveyancing. Wombourne has many leasehold properties. There is more paperwork involved in the purchase: for example, the lease and leasehold information (including current service charge, ground rent and buildings insurance details) obtained from the freeholder or managing agents. There are strict criteria that the lease must meet in order to be acceptable to a mortgage company. If it does not meet these requirements, the lease must be amended, which can involve additional expense for the seller.
