I know that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to have this when acquiring a residence in Coxhoe? or Apparently there is historic law that could mean that owners of property residing in a parish church boundary may be liable to contribute towards maintenance towards the chancel within the church. Is this suitable for conveyancing in Coxhoe?

Unless a previous acquisition of the property completed after 12 October 2013 you may expect lawyers handling conveyancing in Coxhoe to remain recommending a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Coxhoe is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Coxhoe are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Coxhoe you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Coxhoe may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

Last January I purchased a leasehold house in Coxhoe. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

I am the registered owner of a leasehold flat in Coxhoe, conveyancing having been completed 10 years ago. 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? Corresponding flats in Coxhoe with an extended lease are worth £222,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease expires on 21st October 2096

With 71 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 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 renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

At long last our conveyancing in Coxhoe completes on Friday, however the owners I am purchasing off has asked to move out the next day at midday. Can I agree to this?

If you need a bank loan then your conveyancer will require that the premises arevacant on Friday - the bank will require it.
