Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hoole

I can't travel far from Hoole. Is there a reason why all Hoole conveyancers aren't automatically on all bank panels?

Pre- 2008 most lenders had an approach to risk which is different from today. The Financial Services Authority in 2010 instigated a thematic review into property fraud which in summary warned lenders: know the conveyancing practitioners on your panel. Accordingly, lenders have subsequently looked to extract more data from law firms about their operations and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Hundreds of law practices have been removed from lender panels even though they had an exemplary disciplinary record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Such firms found it impossible satisfy the minimum amount of transactions the mortgage companies insisted on.

We are purchasing a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Hoole who is on the Co-operative approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

My husband and I have organised a further advance on our home loan from Aldermore as we wish to conduct alterations to our house in Hoole. Do we need to appoint a bricks and mortar Hoole solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel to handle the legals?

Aldermore don't usually require a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Aldermore panel.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Hoole. I have a mortgage agreed with Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Leeds Building Society, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.

What can a local search tell me about the house my wife and I buying in Hoole?

Hoole conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company such as PSG The local search plays an important role in most Hoole conveyancing purchase; as long as you wish to avoid any nasty surprises after you move into your new home. The search will provide information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 subject headings.

I purchased a 4 bedroom Edwardian property in Hoole. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Britannia. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You should read 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 Hoole and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Hoole. Conveyancing and Clydesdale mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing solicitor in Hoole who acted for me is not around. Any advice?

First make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. There is no need to instruct a Hoole conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

I invested in buying a 2 bed flat in Hoole, conveyancing was carried out 4 years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Comparable flats in Hoole with an extended lease are worth £165,000. The ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2103

With 78 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £7,600 and £8,800 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
