Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Allestree

My wife and I are buying a 2 bedroom apartment in Allestree with a mortgage. We have a Allestree conveyancer, but the bank advise he's not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to select one of the mortgage company panel solicitors or continue with our Allestree conveyancer as well as pay for one of their panel firms to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Allestree conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

Some advice if I may. My Allestree conveyancer is advising me that he is legally obliged toapply for Allestree conveyancing searches due to the fact thatthe firm are on the Virgin Moneyconveyancing panel. These Allestree checks cost a lot of money can this be avoided?

You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a home loan with a lender your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Allestree conveyancing searches.

I am planning on selling our home in Allestree and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Allestree lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Allestree. We have lived in Allestree for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Allestree. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Allestree

    Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? 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. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Allestree I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Allestree for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

In my capacity as executor for the will of my father I am selling a residence in Swansea but reside in Allestree. My conveyancer (based 235 kilometers awayhas requested that I execute a statutory declaration prior to the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Allestree to attest and place their company stamp on the document?

strictly speaking you should not be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are based in Allestree
