I instructed a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Chard today. Reviewing the Terms and Conditions I noteI am liable for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or use a web based firm offering no move no charge conveyancing in Chard?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to cover the transactions that do not proceed. Also remember that these deals generally do not cover expenses such as Chard conveyancing search costs.
Can I be sure that the Chard conveyancing solicitor on the Aldermore panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Chard getting recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advise that you speak with the solicitor handling your conveyancing.
We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from HSBC as we want to carry out a loft conversion to our home in Chard. Are we obliged to select a nearby Chard solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
HSBC would not normally require a member of their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the HSBC panel.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Nationwide. I assume I don't need a Chard property lawyer on the Nationwide panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Nationwide mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Nationwide mortgage from the register. Nationwide, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Nationwide has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Nationwide has instructed the Land Registry to do so

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Chard. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Chard - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I bought a studio flat in Chard, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable flats in Chard with a long lease are worth £180,000. The ground rent is £65 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2083
With just 59 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £20,900 and £24,200 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
