Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Holywell

Why would I instruct a Holywell conveyancing firm given that online alternatives are cheap by comparison?

Its a good idea to contrast conveyancing costs in Holywell and you should seek a reasonable fee calculation but don’t expend your energy getting the cheapest Holywell conveyancer.

An e-mail can never replace a telephone discussion and can never replicate a face to face appointment. Our partner firms will find you a qualified and trusted conveyancing solicitor who can tackle your conveyancing from from the outset to completion, providing a level of hand holding that you will never get with an web based conveyancer.

Me and my partner are soon to exchange buying a property in Holywell but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the vendor of six thousand pounds taking the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of amending the contract but Nottingham are not allowing this. Should they have been informed?

The conveyancer being on the Nottingham approved list is obliged to disclose to Nottingham of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to report the reduction to Nottingham then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Nottingham and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Holywell.

I purchased a freehold residence in Holywell yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Holywell and has limited impact for conveyancing in Holywell but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.

Previous rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a lump sum payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Holywell is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?

Flying freeholds in Holywell are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Holywell you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Holywell may determine 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 property.

In my capacity as executor for the will of my grandfather I am selling a residence in Newport but reside in Holywell. My solicitor (who is 250 kilometers awayrequires that I sign a stat dec before the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Holywell to witness and place their company stamp on the document?

Technically speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are located in Holywell

I am attracted to a two maisonettes in Holywell which have in the region of fifty years unexpired on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?

There are no two ways about it. A leasehold apartment in Holywell is a deteriorating asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The nearer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it reduces the marketability of the property. The majority of buyers and lenders, leases with less than 75 years become less and less marketable. On a more positive note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of premises with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Holywell conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. More often than not it is possible to negotiate informally with the freeholder to extend the lease. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. You need to ensure that any new terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.

I invested in buying a leasehold flat in Holywell, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Holywell with a long lease are worth £165,000. The ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease terminates on 21st October 2102

With 77 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £7,600 and £8,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
