It is a dozen years since I bought my home in Beacon Hill. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find my title deeds. Is this a problem?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with your lender or they may be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw the purchase. Secondly the chances are that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Beacon Hill involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it is more tricky but is not insurmountable.

I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Beacon Hill for our house purchase. Our broker informed us that our mortgage lenders The Royal Bank of Scotland won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?

A mortgage company may require an approved conveyancer act for it. You would be liable to meet the cost of this. Try using our tool to get a quote from a solicitor to conduct conveyancing in Beacon Hill on the The Royal Bank of Scotland approved list of solicitors.

Does a directory service exist listing Principality panel conveyancers in Beacon Hill on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such tool on the CML or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of lending institutions make their panel listings available on the web. If you are in need of a Beacon Hill property lawyer on the Principality please make the most of our tool.

We expect to receive a OIP from HSBC this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do HSBC recommend any Beacon Hill solicitors on the HSBC conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Beacon Hill solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the HSBC conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and HSBC through the process.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with TSB. I assume I don't need a Beacon Hill solicitor on the TSB panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your TSB 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 TSB mortgage from the register. TSB, 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:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where TSB has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. TSB has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your TSB mortgage has been paid off.

What can a local search reveal concerning the property I am purchasing in Beacon Hill?

Beacon Hill conveyancing often commences with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search company for instance Xpress Legal The local search is essential in every Beacon Hill conveyancing purchase; as long as you don’t want any nasty surprises after you move into your property. The search will supply information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen topic headings.

If all goes to plan we aim to complete the sale of our £150,000 maisonette in Beacon Hill next week. The management company has quoted £396 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and 3 years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a leasehold conveyance in Beacon Hill?

Beacon Hill conveyancing on leasehold apartments often involves the purchaser’s conveyancer submitting questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to answer such questions the majority will be willing to assist. They may invoice a reasonable administration fee for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some cases it is above £800. The administration charge required by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration charges, otherwise the charge is technically not due. In reality one has little option but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to exchange contracts with the buyer.

I purchased a leasehold flat in Beacon Hill, conveyancing was carried out 6 years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent flats in Beacon Hill with over 90 years remaining are worth £176,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2104

With only 80 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
