My house in Abersoch is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Does my lawyer need to be on the UBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the UBS 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.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Abersoch. 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 selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Abersoch
-
Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
Should I be concerned about third parties that I am dealing with are suggesting an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Abersoch conveyancing company?
As is the case with lots of service providers, often input from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are numerous players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may put forward conveyancers to retain. Sometimes these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to choose your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that many banks specify a panel list of law firms you must use for the lender related work in your transaction.
I am employed by a busy estate agent office in Abersoch where we have witnessed a number of flat sales derailed as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received contradictory information from local Abersoch conveyancing firms. Can you confirm whether the owner of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
I bought a ground floor flat in Abersoch, conveyancing having been completed in 2001. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Equivalent flats in Abersoch with a long lease are worth £265,000. The ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2100
With only 75 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
Finally our conveyancing in Abersoch completes this Friday, however the owners I am purchasing off wishes to move out the next day at PM. Do I agree to this?
It is not possible to complete on a Saturday due to the bank systems are not working.
