Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Billesdon

Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Billesdon is not on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the standard of his work?

That is most likely a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) low volume of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. If you are concerned you should simply call the Billesdon conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

I require fast conveyancing in Billesdon as I am faced with an ultimatum to sign on the dotted line in less than 4 weeks. Fortunately I do not require a mortgage. Can I decline from having conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

If.Given you are not taking a home loan you have the choice not to have searches carried out although no conveyancer would advise that you don't. Drawing on years of experience of conveyancing in Billesdon the following are examples of issues that can crop up and therefore affect future mortgageability: Refused Planning Applications, Outstanding Fees, Outstanding Grants, Road Schemes,...

I got the keys to my home on 14 January and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Billesdon said it would be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Billesdon particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Billesdon registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any other persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration occurs after the new owner is living at the property therefore post completion formalities is not always primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Am I right to be concerned by 3rd parties that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a local Billesdon conveyancing firm?

As is the case with lots of service providers, often referrals from connections can be most helpful. Nevertheless there are numerous players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all suggest conveyancers to appoint. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there may be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are free to appoint your own conveyancer. Don't forget that most banks specify a panel list of lawyers you must use for the lender related work in your conveyancing.

I am intending to sublet my leasehold apartment in Billesdon. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?

A small minority of properties in Billesdon do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

I inherited a 1st floor flat in Billesdon, conveyancing having been completed 10 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable properties in Billesdon with over 90 years remaining are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 charged once a year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2085

With only 59 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £20,900 and £24,200 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

Me and mywife and I are in the market for a trustworthy conveyancing lawyer in Billesdon to purchase a home. I am aware of the risk of getting ripped off and there are many Billesdon conveyancing organisations out there...who's the best?
