Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Cubitt Town

We are buying a property in Cubitt Town. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? At some point we have to send funds into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Cubitt Town off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Bank of Ireland. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

I have a mortgage with Virgin Money for my property in Cubitt Town. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Virgin Money?

Your original mortgage agreement with Virgin Money will provide that you need their approval in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Virgin Money’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Virgin Money will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Virgin Money directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Virgin Money conveyancing panel lawyer.

How does conveyancing in Cubitt Town differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Cubitt Town contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because builders in Cubitt Town usually acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Cubitt Town or who has acted in the same development.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in Cubitt Town I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Cubitt Town for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

We are 14 days into a leasehold purchase having been referred to a firm by the selling agent to execute conveyancing in Cubitt Town. I am am starting to be frustrated with the quality of service. Can you help me find new solicitors?

They would have to be very bad to suggest changing them. Has your loan offer been sent? In the event that it has you must inform them of the replacement lawyer and have the loan are re-issued. The solicitor ideally should be on the mortgage company panel to avoid added costs and frustration. That should be your first question of the new lawyers. Our find a solicitor tool can help you find a lender approved lawyer for your conveyancing in Cubitt Town

I am the leaseholder of a first flat in Cubitt Town. In the absence of agreement between myself and the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the premium due for a lease extension?

if there is a missing landlord or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the LVT to judgment on the sum to be paid.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a Cubitt Town flat is 12, 14 & 16 Hull Close in May 2010. the Tribunal determined that the premium payable for the acquisition of the freehold to the subject premises was the sum of £18,300 This case affected 3 flats.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden flat in Cubitt Town.Conveyancing is yet to be initiated but I have recently had a yearly service charge invoice – what should I do?

The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as usual given that all ground rent and service charges will be allottedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially
