Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hampden Pk

Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Hampden Pk is not on my bank's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s work?

That would more than likely be a wrong assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The most common reasons for removal are: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should contact the Hampden Pk conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.

My wife and I are soon to exchange buying a house in Hampden Pk but as a consequence of wreckage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the owner of £3k taking the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of amending the contract but Santander will not agree to this. Should they have been informed?

Any conveyancer being on the Santander approved list is obliged to disclose to Santander of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to notify the reduction to Santander then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Santander and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Hampden Pk.

We were going to get a AIP from TSB this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do TSB recommend any Hampden Pk solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Hampden Pk solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, UBS are being problematic. The Hampden Pk solicitor who is on the UBS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but UBS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do UBS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that UBS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why UBS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

My offer was accepted on an apartment in Hampden Pk on 2/4/2025, valuation was booked 3 days after, all came back fine. Conveyancer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Clydesdale and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Clydesdale to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I own a terraced Victorian house in Hampden Pk. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should assess 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 Hampden Pk and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial property in Hampden Pk and how can you help?

The 1954 Act affords a safeguard to business leaseholders, granting the a statutory right to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of the lease term. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Hampden Pk is one of our hundreds of areas of the UK in which our lawyers are based

In relation to leasehold conveyancing in Hampden Pk what are the most common lease defects?

Leasehold conveyancing in Hampden Pk is not unique. Most leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain clauses are wrong. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

    Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts.

You could have 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. National Westminster Bank, Skipton Building Society, and Alliance & Leicester 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 is defective they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to withdraw.

I invested in buying a 2 bed flat in Hampden Pk, conveyancing formalities finalised September 2006. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Comparable properties in Hampden Pk with a long lease are worth £191,000. The ground rent is £55 per annum. The lease runs out on 21st October 2078

With 53 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £27,600 and £31,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. 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. You should not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
