Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hull

The Hull conveyancing firm handling our Hull conveyancing has uncovered a discrepancy between the assumptions in the valuation report and what is in the title deeds. My lawyer has advised that he is duty bound to ensure that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my lawyer’s approach right?

Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

I have been told that property searches are a common reason for stalling in Hull house deals. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the top 10 causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Hull.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Hull I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Hull suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

I today plan to offer on a house that appears to tick a lot of boxes, at a great figure which is making it more attractive. I have since been informed that it's a leasehold rather than freehold. I would have thought that there are issues buying a leasehold house in Hull. Conveyancing advisers have are soon to be appointed. Will my lawyers set out the risks of buying a leasehold house in Hull ?

The majority of houses in Hull are freehold rather than leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area who can help the conveyancing process. It is clear that you are purchasing in Hull in which case you should be looking for a Hull conveyancing solicitor and check that they are used to transacting on leasehold houses. First you will need to check the number of years remaining. Being a tenant you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want with the house. The lease comes with conditions such as obtaining the landlord’spermission to carry out alterations. You may also be required to pay a service charge towards the upkeep of the estate where the property is located on an estate. Your solicitor will advise you fully on all the issues.

I purchased a 1 bedroom flat in Hull, conveyancing having been completed 5 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable properties in Hull with over 90 years remaining are worth £265,000. The ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2101

With just 75 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as costs.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. 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 getting professional advice.

Our mortgage broker has suggested using their solicitor for our conveyancing in Hull - Is it not simpler better to just use them?

This is not necessarily the case and you are free to opt for whichever conveyancer you decide for your Hull conveyancing. The conveyancer suggested by an estate agent may not always be the best property lawyer, they may put forward their own conveyancing firm who are based far away. In this instance you may not have contact with your conveyancing practitioner and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain updates.
