Can you point me to a directory of Lloyds panel conveyancers in Partington on the Building Society Association’s Website?
No. There is no such facility on the CML or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of lenders make their panel listings open the public on the web. If you are seeking to appoint a Partington lawyer on the Lloyds please use our facility.
We had instructed solicitors locally in Partington on the RBS solicitor panel. They are now charging me a separate sum for dealing with the RBS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by RBS?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner is entitled to levy a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by RBS but by your Partington property lawyer. Numerous firms on the RBS panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, UBS are being a right pain. The Partington solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but UBS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS 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.

I bought my apartment on 13 March and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Partington expressed confidence that it will be formalised in less than a month. Are properties in Partington particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Partington registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. At present in the region of 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not typically primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Partington is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Partington are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Partington you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Partington may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
Taking into account that I will soon part with over three hundred thousand on a two bedroom apartment in Partington I would like to have a conversation with the lawyer about mytransaction in advance of instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?

The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for your conveyancing in Partington should be the figure that you are charged.
I am looking at a two apartments in Partington which have in the region of 50 years left on the leases. Will this present a problem?
There are no two ways about it. A leasehold flat in Partington is a wasting asset as a result of the shortening lease. The nearer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it reduces the value of the property. The majority of purchasers and mortgage companies, leases with less than eighty years become less and less marketable. On a more positive note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a residence with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Partington conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. More often than not it is possible to negotiate informally with the freeholder to extend the lease. They may agree to a smaller lump sum and an increase in the ground rent, but to shorter extension terms in return. You need to ensure that the agreed terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
