Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Brownhills

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Lloyds, do Brownhills conveyancers face a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?

We are unaware of any lender fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.

We expect to receive a DIP from UBS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do UBS recommend any Brownhills solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Brownhills solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the UBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and UBS through the process.

The mortgage over my property is with HSBC for my property in Brownhills. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform HSBC?

HSBC must be informed of your intention before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of HSBC’s mortgage conditions. It may be that HSBC will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact HSBC directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a HSBC conveyancing panel firm.

Various online forums that I have visited warn that are the primary reason for stalling in Brownhills house deals. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the common causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Brownhills.

three months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Brownhills concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 property 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.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Brownhills. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Brownhills

    Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

I am a sole trader hoping to lease a unit on a shopping parade. Can you recommend solicitors offering competitive costs for commercial conveyancing in Brownhills for below £2000?

Can you offer any advice when it comes to finding a Brownhills conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?

When appointing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Brownhills conveyancing practice) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We suggest that you talk with two or three firms including non Brownhills conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be helpful:

    Can they put you in touch with clients in Brownhills who can give a testimonial?

I own a 1 bedroom flat in Brownhills, conveyancing was carried out in 2010. 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? Comparable flats in Brownhills with a long lease are worth £171,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease ceases on 21st October 2103

You have 79 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 plus costs.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
