Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Aylesford

Please explain the implications if my solicitor is expelled from the HSBC Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Aylesford?

First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

We had instructed conveyancers located in Aylesford on the Lloyds solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional fee for dealing with the Lloyds mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Lloyds?

Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner can charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Lloyds but by your Aylesford conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Lloyds panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices incorporate it on their overall fee.

The mortgage over my property is with TSB for my property in Aylesford. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform TSB?

Your original mortgage agreement with TSB will provide that you need their approval prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of TSB’s mortgage conditions. It may be that TSB will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact TSB directly. You need not do this via a TSB conveyancing panel lawyer.

It is unclear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Aylesford bank branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Aylesford conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called and was told they would not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?

Provided that the solicitor is on the mortgage company panel, they must comply with the CML Handbook specifications for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Aylesford?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Aylesford. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I decided to have a survey carried out on a property in Aylesford in advance of retaining lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may not give a mortgage on a flying freehold home.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions for example to Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can check via the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Aylesford. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

My company is looking to take over a lease of a shop on the high street. Can you recommend solicitors offering no-move-no fees for non-domestic conveyancing in Aylesford for below £2000?

If you are hoping to purchase or lease a shop, pub, restaurant, office, retail unit or a whole business we can put you in touch with the right lawyer.

Please provide us with your details or phone so as to enable us to supply you with comprehensive commercial conveyancing calculation.

What advice can you give us when it comes to finding a Aylesford conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?

When appointing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Aylesford conveyancing firm) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We recommend that you talk with several firms including non Aylesford conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be of use:

    How familiar is the firm with lease extension legislation? What volume of lease extensions have they carried out in Aylesford in the last year?

    In the main the outlay for major works tend not to be built into the service charges, although there some managing agents in Aylesford ask tenants to pay into a reserve fund created for the specific purpose of building a fund for major works.
