Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hedge End and Botley

Are the Hedge End and Botley conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Skipton conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Skipton?

Hedge End and Botley conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Skipton conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Skipton directly.

I have been advised by my solicitor that lack of right of way insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Hedge End and Botley conveyancing?

The appropriate level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Birmingham Midshires and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

I happen to be the sole recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Hedge End and Botley. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be treated the same way as though I had purchased the house in February. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook obliges conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be impacted by that. Most lenders would take a pragmatic view as this obligation is principally there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of property.

About to purchase house in Hedge End and Botley. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Hedge End and Botley conveyancing practitioner is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.

It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Hedge End and Botley took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 residence 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.

About to purchase a new build apartment in Hedge End and Botley. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Hedge End and Botley

    Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Hedge End and Botley is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Hedge End and Botley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Hedge End and Botley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hedge End and Botley may decide 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.

I’m about to sell my basement flat in Hedge End and Botley. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently had a quarterly service charge demand – Do I pay up?

It best that you clear the maintenance contribution as usual given that all rents and maintenance charges will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

I bought a basement flat in Hedge End and Botley, conveyancing having been completed in 2000. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Hedge End and Botley with a long lease are worth £170,000. The ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease runs out on 21st October 2102

You have 78 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to range between £7,600 and £8,800 plus legals.

The suggested premium range above 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 comprehensive due diligence. 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. You should not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
