Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Highnam

I was informed today by my lender that my Highnam lawyer is not on the lender Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be certain whether this is indeed the case?

The sensible course of action for you to take is to contact your Highnam lawyer directly. You lawyer should advise you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your lender.

We are intent on selling our property in Highnam and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Highnam conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used an internet conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Highnam. Having lived in Highnam for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Highnam I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Highnam in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for sale conveyancing in Highnam. I have land on a site which appears to be the perfect answer If it is possible to get all the legals completed via email that would be ideal. Should I be concerned? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

Can you offer any advice when it comes to appointing a Highnam conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?

When appointing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Highnam conveyancing practice) it is essential that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We recommend that you speak with several firms including non Highnam conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions might be of use:

    What are the costs for lease extension work? Can they put you in touch with clients in Highnam who can give a testimonial?

Highnam Leasehold Conveyancing - A selection of Queries before buying

    What restrictions exist in the Highnam Lease? Is the freehold owned collectively by the leaseholders? This information is useful as a) areas could cause problems for the block as the communal areas may begin to deteriorate where repairs are not paid for b) if the tenants have an issue with the managing agents you will need to have all the details

My wife and I are purchasing a garden flat in Highnam. At the time of instructing our conveyancer, they told us that they were on all major UK lender panels. Our mortgage broker emailed today to say that they don't seem to be on the Aldermore approved list. If it turns out to be true, what should we do? Do we just find a different property lawyer that is on their panel or do we cover the costs for dual representation, with Aldermore selecting their own approved solicitor.

When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is standard for the purchaser’s lawyers to also act for the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a conveyancer has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the solicitor to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict conditions which the solicitor has to fulfill. Some lenders now require their panel firms to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should contact Aldermore and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on Aldermore's conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Highnam solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you are adding another conveyancing practitioner into the equation.
