Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Croston

Me and my partner are planning to acquire a 1 bedroom flat in Croston with a mortgage. We like our Croston lawyer, however the bank says he's not on their "panel". It appears that we have little option but to use one of the lender panel solicitors or continue with our Croston property lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. This feels very unfair; are we not able to insist that the lender use our Croston property lawyer ?

Unfortunately,no. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your Croston conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

I have recentlyfound out that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Croston for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I establish that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest method to check if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Croston conveyancing specialists.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Croston. Conveyancing and Yorkshire Building Society mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing practitioner in Croston who acted for me is not around. Any advice?

First contact the Land Registry to be sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. You do not need to incur the fees of a Croston conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

I inherited a 2 bed flat in Croston, conveyancing formalities finalised February 2010. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding flats in Croston with a long lease are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease ceases on 21st October 2084

You have 62 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £17,100 and £19,800 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. 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. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
