Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a search tool with a view to list law firms on the Darlington Building Society conveyancing panel for instance in Carbis Bay?
We would not expect to be advised of any plans on the part of the BSA to promote such a tool.
It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Carbis Bay completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of apartments in Carbis Bay both have in the region of 50 years unexpired on the lease term. should I be concerned?
There are no two ways about it. A leasehold apartment in Carbis Bay is a wasting 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 property. For most purchasers and banks, leases with less than 75 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 property 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 residence 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 Carbis Bay 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 the agreed 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.

You will want to find out as much as you can regarding the managing agents as they will impact your use and enjoyment of the property. Being a leasehold owner you are often in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to day to day issues like the upkeep of the common parts. Ask other tenants what they think of their service. Finally, find out the dates that the service fees are due to the relevant party and precisely what you get for your money. On the whole the outlay for major works are not included within maintenance charges, although there some managing agents in Carbis Bay obliged leaseholders to contribute towards a reserve fund and this is used to offset against larger works. The prefered form of lease structure is if the freehold reversion is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this arrangement the lessees benefit from being in charge if their destiny and even though a managing agent is usually employed where the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves.
