Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ambleside

I am considering applying for a Yorkshire BS mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Ambleside with 70% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Yorkshire BS ?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Yorkshire BS will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Ambleside. Do I pick up the keys to the property on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Ambleside?

On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Ambleside. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be called to collect the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

A friend informed me that in purchasing a property in Ambleside there could be a number of restrictions preventing external alterations to the property. Is this right?

We are aware of a number of properties in Ambleside which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to execute external changes. Part of the conveyancing in Ambleside should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Ambleside. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?

All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.

I need some fast conveyancing in Ambleside as I am under pressure to exchange contracts inside one month. Fortunately I do not require a mortgage. Can I escape the need for conveyancing searches to save money and time?

Drawing on our experience of conveyancing in Ambleside the following are examples of issues that can appear and therefore affect the marketability of the property: Refused Planning Applications, Overdue Charges, Outstanding Grants, Road Schemes,...

All being well we will complete the disposal of our £475,000 maisonette in Ambleside on Wednesday in a week. The freeholder has quoted £312 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and 3 years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Ambleside?

Ambleside conveyancing on leasehold apartments often requires the buyer’s lawyer sending enquiries for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to address such questions most will be content to do so. They may levy a reasonable administration fee for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average costs for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some cases it is in excess of £800. The management information fee levied by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration charges, otherwise the invoice is technically not due. Reality however dictates that you have no choice but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to sell the property.

I am the registered owner of a leasehold flat in Ambleside, conveyancing formalities finalised February 2004. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent properties in Ambleside with a long lease are worth £202,000. The ground rent is £60 levied per year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2079

With just 57 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £28,500 and £33,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
