I am getting a offer of a home loan from Nat West. I would like to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Bovey Tracey. Does the Nat West Conveyancing panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Nat West approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house can not be found. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Bovey Tracey 4 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?
In today’s world there are copies made of almost everything, and your solicitor will be aware exactly where to look for all the appropriate paperwork so you can buy or sell your property without any difficulty. Where copies are not available, your conveyancer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against future claims on your premises.
I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Bovey Tracey in advance of instructing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor advised that some lenders tend refuse to give a loan on a flying freehold home.

My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent has warned us that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's recommended lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Bovey Tracey
It is improbable the vendors are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is counter productive. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Bovey Tracey conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds set by senior management.
I am looking at a two apartments in Bovey Tracey both have in the region of forty five years left on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
There are no two ways about it. A leasehold flat in Bovey Tracey is a deteriorating asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The nearer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it adversely affects the salability of the premises. The majority of purchasers and lenders, leases with less than eighty years become less and less attractive. On a more positive note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of a property with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Bovey Tracey conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. More often than not it is possible to negotiate informally with the freeholder to extend the lease. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. You need to ensure that any new terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
I invested in buying a 1 bedroom flat in Bovey Tracey, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Comparable properties in Bovey Tracey with an extended lease are worth £175,000. The ground rent is £65 levied per year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2084
You have 58 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £23,800 and £27,400 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. 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. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
