Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Forest Row

My Forest Row conveyancer has identified a discrepancy between the surveyor’s assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My solicitor informs me that he needs to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my conveyancer’s course or action appropriate?

Your conveyancer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

The deeds to our home are lost. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in Forest Row 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?

Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer will know precisely where to find all the suitable documentation so you may purchase or dispose of your property without any difficulty. If copies can’t be located, your solicitor can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against possible claims on the premises.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Forest Row I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Forest Row suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring 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 offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to 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 matter.

Taking into account that I am about to part with over three hundred thousand on a two bedroom apartment in Forest Row I wish to have a conversation with the solicitor concerning thehome move prior to appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the lawyer who will be carrying out your conveyancing in Forest Row.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique individual, not a file number. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are quoted for residential conveyancing in Forest Row should be the figure that you end up paying.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Forest Row. Conveyancing and Virgin Money mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing practitioner in Forest Row who acted for me is not around. What should I do?

The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. You do not need to instruct a Forest Row conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

I own a ground floor flat in Forest Row, conveyancing having been completed in 2008. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Corresponding properties in Forest Row with an extended lease are worth £260,000. The ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2100

With only 74 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
