Can I be sure that the Coven conveyancing solicitor on the Coventry BS panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Coven getting recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the lawyer conducting your conveyancing.

After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Coven. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £225. A couple of days later, the lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the TSB conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the TSB panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by UBS. Is it usual for UBS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Coven is approved on their conveyancing panel? UBS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for UBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the UBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

My wife and I own a semi-detached Georgian house in Coven. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Barclays . I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Coven and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.

I decided to have a survey carried out on a property in Coven in advance of retaining lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend not issue a loan on such a premises.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different requirements from Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can check via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Coven. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Coven especially if they are acquainted with such properties in Coven.

What are your top tips when it comes to appointing a Coven conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?

If you are instructing a property lawyer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Coven conveyancing practice) it is essential that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We recommend that you talk with several firms including non Coven conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions might be useful:

    How experienced is the firm with lease extension legislation?

I acquired a split level flat in Coven, conveyancing having been completed 8 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in Coven with an extended lease are worth £171,000. The ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease expires on 21st October 2104

You have 79 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £7,600 and £8,800 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
