What happens if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Principality Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Claverley?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Claverley I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Claverley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
Do I need to be concerned by estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Claverley conveyancing company?
As with many professional services, often suggestions from connections can be very helpful. But there are lots of parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks might all put forward conveyancers to use. On occasion these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to appoint your own lawyer. You need to be aware that many mortgage providers have an approved list of lawyers you have to use for the mortgage related work in your conveyancing.
Am I better off to appoint a Claverley conveyancing lawyer based in the location that I am buying? An old friend can deal with the conveyancing however they are based approximately 350miles away.
The benefit of a local Claverley conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to execute paperwork, deliver your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local intelligence which is a bonus. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and the majority were content that must trump using an unfamiliar Claverley conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being local.
As a leasehold owner I am on the hook for a maintenance fee for my first floor flat in Claverley. As a result of poor financial planning I fell behind with remittance. The freeholders agreed a payment schedule but there is still a couple of outstanding at the current time.
I want to dispose of the property and I am worried this can hold me back if I have to settle the amount due in advance. I'd like to sell up and subsequently pay them back with the completion monies - is this viable?
It would be wise to speak with the conveyancer handling your Claverley conveyancing but it may be possible to arrange for the outstanding amount to be passed to the buyers. The purchase price they pay would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They could then pay the fees after completion of the sale.
