I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (6 years old) in Alvechurch. The vast majority the flats are already occupied. Do I need carry out the local searches as part of conveyancing in Alvechurch?
A big part of the Alvechurch conveyancing process is the conveyancing searches. There are hundreds search providers who offer Alvechurch conveyancing searches, as well straight from the local authority. These are usually referred to as personal search companies and they produce, not surprisingly, personal searches. However, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must obtain their information from the local authority.
Do lawyers request money on account for conveyancing in Alvechurch?
If you are buying a property in Alvechurch your solicitor will request that you place them with monies to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. If any deposit is payable against the sale price then this should be needed shortly before exchange of contracts. The closing balance that is needed will be payable shortly before completion.
I happen to be the single recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Alvechurch. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in October. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship will be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the property in October. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be affected by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this provision is chiefly there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the wholesaling and assigning of properties.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Yorkshire BS. I assume I don't need a Alvechurch conveyancer on the Yorkshire BS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Yorkshire BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Yorkshire BS mortgage from the register. Yorkshire BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Yorkshire BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Yorkshire BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so

Your estate agent will need to know who your solicitors are (make sure the solicitors are on the bank’s panel). Call up Nationwide or the broker and finalise any outstanding documentation.

Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week for the mortgage offer to be issued. Nationwide will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Alvechurch.

I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that appears to meet my requirements, at a reasonable figure which is making it all the more appealing.

Conveyancing lawyers have are soon to be instructed. Will they explain the issues?

I inherited a leasehold flat in Alvechurch, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2011. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Alvechurch with over 90 years remaining are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease runs out on 21st October 2084
You have 59 years left to run the likely cost is going to be between £20,900 and £24,200 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
