We have agreed to purchase a house in Yatton. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Nottingham have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Nottingham your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Nottingham. The CML Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Nottingham where a lease fails to comply with these requirements. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Yatton.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Yatton. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
Nationwide have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a flat in Yatton has been accepted, what are the next steps?
The property agent will want to know who your solicitors are (be sure the lawyers are on the bank’s panel). Telephone Nationwide or the broker and finalise any appropriate documentation. Nationwide will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or seller to arrange an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average ten days to receive the mortgage offer. Nationwide will issue the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Yatton.
3 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Yatton concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Yatton I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Yatton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
Back In 2008, I bought a leasehold flat in Yatton. Conveyancing and Virgin Money mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing solicitor in Yatton who previously acted has long since retired. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. You do not need to instruct a Yatton conveyancing firm to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I inherited a 1 bedroom flat in Yatton, conveyancing having been completed August 2009. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Yatton with a long lease are worth £211,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2094
With 68 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
