We are looking to buy a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Clophill who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Kent Reliance . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Clophill.
I am thinking of mortgaging my property in Clophill, does my lawyer need to be on the Co-operative Solicitor panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, but Co-operative would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Clophill?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Clophill. 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…’
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Clophill. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Clophill
-
The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.
I'm refinancing my current home to a buy to let mortgage with Birmingham Midshires and I will use the rest of the raised equity as a down payment on further property. The location we are looking at is Clophill. Will your lawyers be able to act for both sets of lenders and link together the two deals?
Do use our comparison tool on this site to be sure that the conveyancers are approved by both banks. Having checked that they are your solicitor should be able to simultaneously deal with the two conveyancing matters but you should talk with you conveyancer and make clear your expectations and requirements.
Back In 2005, I bought a leasehold house in Clophill. Conveyancing and National Westminster Bank mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing solicitor in Clophill who previously acted has now retired. Any advice?
First contact HMLR to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Clophill conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
I own a basement flat in Clophill, conveyancing having been completed May 1996. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Similar flats in Clophill with over 90 years remaining are worth £175,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease ends on 21st October 2083
With 58 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £23,800 and £27,400 as well as 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 renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
