Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Frampton Cotterell

four months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Frampton Cotterell took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

When it comes to leasehold conveyancing in Frampton Cotterell what are the most common lease defects?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Frampton Cotterell. All leases are individual and drafting errors can result in certain sections are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage Repairing obligations to or maintain parts of the premises

You may encounter a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Birmingham Midshires, Bank of Scotland, and Britannia all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to provide security, forcing the purchaser to pull out.

I am the registered owner of a ground floor flat in Frampton Cotterell, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. 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? Similar properties in Frampton Cotterell with over 90 years remaining are worth £181,000. The ground rent is £55 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2075

With 51 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £30,400 and £35,200 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

One month into purchasing a house in Frampton Cotterell. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the property is "Leasehold". Will this likely make a difference on our HSBC valuation?

Frampton Cotterell conveyancing does not usually involve leasehold houses. The key consideration here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If there are hundred of years years remaining with a nominal rent, it's essentially freehold, so it’s unlikely to impact the marketability too much.

On the flip side, if it's, say, 50 years it is bound to have a adverse effect on the value, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the lender. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be set out in the lease which should be made available to your property lawyer.
