Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Laindon costs more?
The conveyancing charges on a leasehold property in Laindon is frequently higher when contrasted to a freehold transaction. This is due to the additional investigations necessary in corresponding with the landlord and managing agents to obtain evidence concerning whether the rent and maintenance fee have been paid and whether there are any major works due in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the building.
I am selling my home in Laindon. Does the conveyancing practitioner have to be required to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently at the moment.
I am buying a property in Laindon. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Principality have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Principality your lawyer must check the formal requirements contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Principality. The CML Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Principality where a lease fails to satisfy these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Laindon.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Yorkshire BS are being difficult. The Laindon solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Yorkshire BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
My offer on a detached house in Laindon has been accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a flat, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Laindon. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Kent Reliance going?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Laindon conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Kent Reliance approved list. As to the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market the majority of purchasers would apply for a home loan with Kent Reliance and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancer to move forward with searches.
About to purchase a new build flat in Laindon. Conveyancing is necessary evil 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 is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Laindon
-
The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed apartment in Laindon. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just received a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the service charge as normal because all rents and maintenance invoices will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
I inherited a leasehold flat in Laindon, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. 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 Laindon with over 90 years remaining are worth £211,000. The ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2091
With just 67 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £10,500 and £12,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
