Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Heath

My mortgage broker says he needs my Heath law firm’s panel member for the Nat West conveyancing panel. How do I find this out. I have e-mailed my local Heath office but they have not got back to me yet.

The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Heath solicitor . They should have a central record lender panel numbers.

We are selling our apartment in Heath. Will the property lawyer have to be on the RBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the RBS 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 specifications fairly frequently currently.

I opted to have a survey done on a property in Heath in advance of instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend not issue a loan on such a premises.

It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Heath.

At this site obtain a conveyancing costs illustration via a Solicitor or Licensed Conveyancer that has a full understanding of the nuances for your conveyancing in Heath. Unlike many estate agents and brokerage sites we do not operate kick-back deals with solicitors. A large number of agents and online brokers 'recommend' solicitors who pay the highest kickback, as opposed to the best value conveyancing in Heath

Our conveyancer has advised that he intends to complete and exchange simultaneously on our sale of a £350,000 maisonette in Heath next week. The landlords agents has quoted £408 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and 3 years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Heath?

Heath conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes often involves the purchaser’s solicitor submitting questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to respond to these enquiries most will be content to assist. They may levy a reasonable administration fee for answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some transactions it is above £800. The administration charge invoiced by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of rights and obligations in respect of administration charges, otherwise the charge is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that one has little choice but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to exchange contracts with the buyer.

I am the registered owner of a basement flat in Heath, conveyancing formalities finalised 3 years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Heath with a long lease are worth £197,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 levied per year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2081

With only 56 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £29,500 and £34,000 as well as 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 a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.

Our offer on property in Heath was accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have submitted an offer on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing lawyer in Heath. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Yorkshire BS?

It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain given your reluctance to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Heath conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancer is on the Yorkshire BS approved list. Regarding the next steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many purchasers will apply for a home loan with Yorkshire BS and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to proceed with searches.
