Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Downton

I am getting a mortgage with Lloyds. I would like to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Downton. Does the Lloyds Conveyancing panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?

The Lloyds approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I am selling my house in Downton. Does my property lawyer have to be required to be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Co-operative conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently in recent years.

What will a local search tell me regarding the property my wife and I buying in Downton?

Downton conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company such as Searches UK The local search is essential in every Downton conveyancing purchase; as long as you don’t want any nasty surprises after you move into your property. The search will supply data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 subject sections.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Downton I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Downton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for residential conveyancing in Downton. I've land on a web site which seems to have the perfect solution If there is a chance to get all formalities completed via web that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Downton. Before diving in I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.

If the lease is registered - and most are in Downton - 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 purchased a leasehold flat in Downton, conveyancing formalities finalised June 2005. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Similar flats in Downton with over 90 years remaining are worth £185,000. The ground rent is £65 charged once a year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2086

With only 60 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £20,000 and £23,000 as well as costs.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
