Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Egremont

I am getting closer to an exchange on a property in Egremont and my mum and dad have transferred the ten percent deposit to my lawyer. I am now told that as the deposit has not arrived from me my conveyancing practitioner needs to disclose this to my bank. I am advised that, in also acting for the lender he must advise them that the balance of the purchase price is coming from anyone other than me. I advised the bank regarding my parents' contribution when I applied for the home loan, so is it really appropriate for this now to be an issue?

The solicitor is legally required to clarify with mortgage company to ensure that they are aware that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own funds. The solicitor can only disclose this to your lender if you permit them to, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

I am downsizing from our home in Egremont and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Egremont conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Egremont. We have lived in Egremont for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Egremont is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Egremont are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Egremont you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Egremont may ascertain 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.

Taking into account that I am about to part with over three hundred thousand on a house in Egremont I wish to have a conversation with the solicitor about myhouse move prior to giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?

Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the conveyancer who will be carrying out your conveyancing in Egremont.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique individual, not a matter number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Egremont should be the figure that you end up paying.

I have recently realised that I have Seventy years remaining on my flat in Egremont. I am keen to extend my lease but my landlord is can not be found. What options are available to me?

If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. You will be obliged to prove that you have used your best endeavours to find the lessor. For most situations a specialist would be useful to try and locate and to produce a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer in relation to devolving into the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court covering Egremont.

I own a ground floor flat in Egremont, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Comparable properties in Egremont with over 90 years remaining are worth £191,000. The ground rent is £55 invoiced annually. The lease finishes on 21st October 2079

With 54 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £32,300 and £37,400 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
