My wife and I purchased a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Dawley and Lawley. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Nottingham Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Nottingham Building Society to clarify?

You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Dawley and Lawley and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.

I am buying my first flat in Dawley and Lawley with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my solicitor about the deal as it would put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Dawley and Lawley I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Dawley and Lawley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Dawley and Lawley. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Dawley and Lawley - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I invested in buying a basement flat in Dawley and Lawley, conveyancing formalities finalised 3 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable flats in Dawley and Lawley with over 90 years remaining are worth £227,000. The ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2098

You have 72 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £9,500 and £11,000 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.

I am buying a flat and cash is in place. My solicitor has been given with 2 distinct evidence of photo identification, bank statement, numerous utility bills. Now he wants a copy from a probate lawyer stating that the money is in order and that it has come from inheritance and not dealing E's in Ibiza.

In today’s world you will not be able to complete any Dawley and Lawley conveyancing transaction without first providing evidence of your identity to your lawyers. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a utility bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as evidence of ID it must be both the paper part and photo card part, one is not acceptable without the other. Proof of your source of funds is required under Money Laundering laws.
